Fire safety should always be a top priority for everyone, whether in our homes or workplaces. The following are some fire safety tips that can help prevent fires and improve your chances of safely escaping them:

1. Smoke Alarms

• Install smoke detectors on every level of your home and ensure they are in good working condition by testing them monthly.
• Replace batteries in smoke detectors at least once a year or immediately when they start to chirp.

2. Fire Extinguishers

• Keep a fire extinguisher in your kitchen and learn the proper way to use it.
• Check your fire extinguisher annually and replace when necessary.

3. Electrical Safety

• Avoid overloading outlets and extension cords.
• Never run cords under rugs or furniture and avoid using damaged cords.
• Ensure all electrical appliances are turned off and unplugged when not in use.

4. Cooking Safety

• Never leave cooking food unattended.
• Keep flammable objects like potholders, towels, and wooden utensils away from open flames and heat source.
• Keep a lid nearby when cooking to smother potential fires.

5. Escape Plan

• Create and practice an escape plan with your family or roommates in case of fire.
• Every room in your home should have two exits, such as a door and a window.
• Choose a meeting place outside your home where everyone can safely gather after escaping.

​Fire safety is a responsibility we all share. By following these simple tips, you can help prevent fires and protect your loved ones and property. Stay safe!
