Fires

To prepare for Fires:

  • First and foremost, smoke detectors should be installed in the home, particularly in the kitchen and in bedrooms.
  • Fire extinguishers should also be readily available, and everyone in the family should know how to use them.
  • Keep things like matches and lighters locked away and out of the reach of children.
  • Replace or professionally repair any appliances that spark, smell unusual, or overheat.
