Practice Fire Safety in Your Home
Finally, having a working smoke alarm dramatically increases your chances of surviving a fire. And remember to practice a home escape plan frequently with your family
Rules for Parents
Test bath water before your kids get in. Too hot can give them HORRIBLE burns! You might look into buying faucet locks to put in your bathtub, so that little ones can't turn on the hot water by themselves.
Be careful with gasoline! It could spill on you and turn you a human torch! And remember not to store gasoline or paint (or other flammable substances) anywhere near any gas powered utility like water heaters.
Place a fire detector in every room in the house (and on every floor), and be sure to check their batteries at least twice a year.
Be sure that
your children know what to do if a fire breaks out in your house, like how to
escape your home. Have them.come up with an escape plan showing at least two
exits from every room.
Always have at least two working Fire extinguishers! They could save your families life! Be sure to test them, and have one on each floor of your house.
Hold Fire drills in your house. Be sure that your kids have an escape plan ready in case there is a fire. Be sure to show them every route possible for exiting your house, including their bedroom window.
Make a note of who is around you while you're cooking. Make sure to keep all kids and pets away from the hot stove! And also remember to turn the oven off when you are through! Also keep pot handles turned away from the stove's edge.
Do not smoke around gasoline or other flammable substances!
