A home fire is your most dangerous fire threat. Home fires kill and injure 16,000 Americans annually. And the leading cause of these fires is from cooking. So when you cook…
Avoid wearing loose clothing… keep anything that can catch fire away from cooking surfaces… turn pot handles in… and around cooking areas, maintain a 3-foot kid-free zone.
Smoke alarms can make the difference between life and death. Install them inside and outside sleeping areas and on all levels of your home. Alarms with long-life batteries are best. Change others every year. Test alarms monthly… and replace smoke alarms that are more than ten years old. Every second counts. So prepare and practice a home fire drill with your family.
