Install Smoke Alarms:

them monthly and replace the batteries at least once a year.

Create a Fire Escape Plan:

NEFSA advises creating a fire escape plan that includes two ways out of every room in your home. Practice the plan with your
family twice a year.

Keep Fire Extinguishers Handy:

NEFSA suggests keeping a fire extinguisher on every level of your home, especially in the kitchen and garage. Make sure everyone
in your family knows how to use them.

Practice Kitchen Safety:

NEFSA recommends never leaving cooking food unattended and keeping flammable objects away from the stove. Keep a lid nearby to
smother small grease fires.

Stay Safe with Space Heaters:

NEFSA advises keeping space heaters at least three feet away from anything that can burn, and turning them off when you leave
the room or go to bed.

Avoid Overloading Electrical Outlets:

NEFSA suggests using power strips with built-in circuit breakers and avoiding the use of extension cords for long-term or permanent
wiring needs.

Teach Children Fire Safety:

NEFSA recommends teaching children what smoke alarms sound like and what to do if they hear one. Teach them to never play with
matches or lighters.

Secure Your Home:

NEFSA advises keeping matches and lighters out of reach of children, and storing flammable liquids in approved containers and
away from heat sources.

Know How to Escape a Fire:

NEFSA recommends crawling low under smoke and closing doors behind you as you escape to help slow the spread of fire and
smoke.

Stay Informed:

NEFSA suggests staying informed about fire safety by following NEFSA on social media and attending local fire safety events.
