Install and Maintain Smoke Alarms.

Smoke alarms warn you of a fire in time for you to escape. Always check the alarm regularly. Replace batteries if required.

Make an Escape Plan.

Sit down with the family and plan how to get out in case of a fires. Know your escape. Talk to grandparents about their plans too.

Stop. Drop & Roll.

Everyone should know this rule. Do not Run! If your clothes are on fire, stop where you are, drop down and cover your face with your hands and roll over and over to smother the flames.

Matches and Lighters are Not Toys.

These things are dangerous if you play with them. If you find them give to grown ups immediately.

Crawl Low in Smoke.

Smoke is dangerous. You cannot breathe in it. If you have to escape through smoke, crawl very low to the floor and crawl quickly to the exit.

Cool That Burn.

If you get burned, immediately place burn in cool water for 10 - 15 minutes and see a doctor.

Don't Get Trapped.

With bars on your house, install smoke alarms to warn you of the fire early so you can get out.
