Tips&Tricks....FIRE SAFETY!!!

• Identify TWO escape routes from each room in your home. Make sure everyone, especially children, know the plan.
  
• Teach children to follow the escape routes without stopping for valuables or returning to a burning home.
  
• Install smoke and carbon monoxide detectors. An early warning allows more time to evacuate. Check detectors monthly.
  Replace batteries at least once a year.
• Close doors while sleeping. Open doors allow fire and smoke to spread more quickly.
