FIRE ESCAPE PLAN

	Have an escape plan that includes two ways out of each room and a meeting place outside the home.
	Practice it with the whole family at least twice a year.
	If you encounter smoke on your way out of a fire, use your second way out instead.
	If you must escape through smoke, crawl low under the smoke to your exit.

STOP, DROP, AND ROLL
If your clothes catch fire, stop where you are, drop to the ground, cover your face with your hands, and roll over and over to smother the flames.


USE ELECTRICITY SAFELY
Don't overload extension cords or run them under rugs. Replace any cord that is cracked or frayed.  If any appliance smokes or has an unusual smell, unplug it and have it repaired by a professional.


SPACE HEATERS
Keep portable and space heaters at least 3 feet (1m) from anything that can burn. NEVER leave heaters on when you leave home or go to bed and keep children and pets well away from them.


SMOKE DETECTORS

	Install them on every level of your home and outside each sleeping area.
	Test them monthly and install new batteries twice a year.
