If a fire does occur, crawl to the nearest safe exit with your head 12 to 24 inches above the floor. Carefully touch the bottom of all doors to check for heat before opening them, and if your clothes catch on fire, remember the stop, drop and roll rule.

Install at least one smoke detector on every level of your home and make sure there is a battery back-up for hard-wired alarms. Test them monthly and change the batteries at least once per year.

Store a multi-purpose fire extinguisher in the kitchen and on every level of your home. Keep them recharged and ready to use and teach all family members how to operate them. If the fire is not out after using the extinguisher, get out and call the fire department.

Make sure every window and door is fully functional before each fire drill. Teach your family how to unlock and open all possible exits. Instruct them to break their window with a heavy object if it does not open.

Run at least two fire drills per year so everyone is aware of what to do if a real fire occurs. Set up multiple scenarios during different times of day and designate a meeting place outside your home. Remember to include family pets.

National Fire Prevention Week is October 9–15. Watch for ways you can practice fire safety to keep your family safe.
