Checklist for Fire Safety

Smoke Alarm Safety

Install smoke alarms near every bedroom and on every floor of the home or building.

Test each smoke alarm on a monthly basis to ensure they are all functioning properly.

Change the batteries every 6 months in all smoke alarms through out the home.

Any smoke alarms that exceed 10 years in age should be replaced with an up-to-date model.

Heating Safety

Make sure your chimney and furnace are professionally serviced every year.

Keep space heaters at least 3 feet clear of flammable objects such as drapes, furniture, clothes and towels.

The fireplace should have a top-quality, sturdy screen to catch sparks and any logs that may fall out.

Safety in the Kitchen and while Cooking

Do not leave the kitchen when the stove is on and food is cooking.

Turn pot and pan holders inward while cooking to avoid accidental spillage and knocking off of stove.

Keep hand towels, oven mitts and other flammable objects away from burners and oven.

Always have a fully charged fire extinguisher in the kitchen and make sure everyone in the family knows how to use it.

Additional Fire Safety

Practice on a regular basis, a fire escape plan at different times of the day and night.

Always douse cigar and cigarette butts with water before placing them in the garbage.

Never leave lit candles or a burning fireplace unattended.

Be careful not to overload electrical outlets, extension cords and power strips.

Regularly inspect all cords and wires for damage, wear and cover all unused electrical outlets.

Keep a fully charged fire extinguisher near each exit.
