Home Fire Safety

6/30/2022 (Permalink)

According to the American Red Cross, people may have two minutes or less to escape a home fire. That is why we cannot stress enough the importance of having working smoke detectors on every floor of the home and a fire escape plan for the family. Another important purchase is a carbon monoxide alarm since it can prevent carbon monoxide poisoning.  You should also test all the alarms throughout the home every month, to make sure that they have batteries in working order. Teach your kids two different ways to exit the home in case of an emergency, and tell them that once they are out, to stay out. Young kids should know how to call 9-1-1.
