Think you know everything about home fires? Take the Quiz!
This year's Fire Prevention Week campaign is Every Second Counts: Plan 2 Ways Out! which focuses on these key messages:
- Practice your home fire drill twice a year. Conduct one at night and one during the day.
- Find two ways out of the building from each room.
- Talk about your plan with everyone in your home.
- Teach children how to escape on their own in case you can not help them.
- Once you get outside, stay outside. Never go back inside a burning building.
- Pick a safe place outside where everyone can meet.
Don't Forget!
- Check the date of manufacturing on your smoke alarms and replace them if older than 10 years.
- Change the batteries and test each smoke alarm in your home.
- Make sure your house or building number can be seen from the street.
- Make sure all windows and doors are not blocked from the inside.
