Fire Safety Tips

May 31, 2007

The Home Safety Council offers fire safety tips.

  • Every home needs working smoke alarms on each level. The sound of the smoke alarm warns you there is fire. The sound gives you extra time to follow your escape plan. That helps you get out safely.
  • If there is a fire, a fire sprinkler system turns on immediately. It sprays water on the flames. It keeps the fire small or puts it out.
  • Having working smoke alarms, a fire escape plan, and a fire sprinkler system is the best way to stay safe from a fire.
  • Fire sprinklers save lives and prevent injuries. They also keep the fire and smoke from ruining your things.
  • Many people have seen fire sprinklers at work. They’ve seen them in hotels and hospitals and schools. But many people don’t realize that they can have fire sprinklers installed in their homes too.
  • Having fire sprinklers at home is very important. More than 80 percent of fire deaths happen at home.
