Place smoke detectors near bedrooms, and on every floor. Test the batteries weekly and replace at least once a year or as needed. Don't place smoke detectors near air vents.
Replace worn electrical cords. Don't run cords under rugs. Don't overload outlets.
Don't use an extension cord on a space heater. Unplug space heaters when you are not using them. Keep space heaters a safe distance from furniture and curtains, and keep the area around the space heater clear of books, papers, and other flammable materials. Do not dry your clothes, gloves, or other items on the heater.
Make sure your family has an escape plan. Practice the escape plan every six months. Never go back into a burning building. Know when to call 911.
