Install smoke alarms on every level of your home, inside bedrooms and outside sleeping areas. 

Talk with all family members about a fire escape plan and practice the plan twice a year.

Test smoke alarms every month. If they’re not working, change the batteries.

If a fire occurs in your home, GET OUT, STAY OUT and CALL FOR HELP. Never go back inside for anything or anyone.
