Safety In The Home
Though we offer outstanding services for fire protection, you can take key steps to prepare your home and family for any eventuality.
Your first line of defense for fire protection is smoke alarms—they play a vital role in reducing fire deaths and injuries. They should be tested every month, and batteries changed when needed. Install smoke alarms in every sleeping room and outside each separate sleeping area, and on every level of the home. There are two kinds of alarms: 1. Ionization smoke alarms are quicker to warn about flaming fires, and 2. Photoelectric alarms are quicker to warn about smoldering fires. It is best to use of both types of alarms in the home.
It is crucial to have an escape plan that everyone in the home knows well. As a family, walk through your home and inspect all possible exits and escape routes; try to find two ways to get out of every room. More fire safety tips from ready.gov:
- Sleep with your door closed.
- Only those trained in the proper use and maintenance of fire extinguishers should consider using them when appropriate. Contact your local fire department for information on training in your area and what kind to buy for your home.
- Consider installing an automatic fire sprinkler system in your residence.
- Ask your local fire department to inspect your residence for fire safety and prevention.
If a fire occurs in your home, GET OUT, STAY OUT and CALL FOR HELP. Never go back inside for anything.
