Fire Prevention

Fire Prevention Tips:

In case of a house fire, GET OUT and STAY out! Do not go back in for toys, pictures, games, computers, etc. Nothing is worth your life.
In an emergency dial 911, even if you are unsure of the situation.
Establish a safe meeting place for the entire family in case your home needs to be evacuated.
If your clothing catches fire, STOP, DROP, COVER(your face), and ROLL.
Ensure all your smoke detectors are working properly, test them monthly.
Never leave an open flame unattended, including small candles to large fire places.
If you are using space heaters, remember, they need SPACE, at least three feet of free space.
Have your chimney cleaned annually by a professional.
Remember fire prevention goes beyond your home!
When lighting an open flame, clear the area of flammable debris.
Never light an open flame on windy days.
If your car catches fire, get every one out and stay 100 feet away.
