Sincerely, Danielle Feature ArticleFire Safety Tips for You and Your FamilyFire safety starts with you. The fact of the matter is, the more prepared you are, the safer you and your family will be. Below are some suggestions that can get you moving in the right direction... The first thing to do is to equip your home with fire safety equipment. Ideally, there should be smoke detectors in all bedrooms, hallways, the kitchen, and the basement. Detectors should be tested every six months, and batteries changed to ensure that they are functioning properly. Fire extinguishers should be easily accessible and located on each level of the home, including the garage. For additional security, an alarm system that automatically alerts the police, ambulance and fire departments can be installed. These units generally have the added bonus of a panic button that can be pushed manually in case of an emergency. If you are building a new home, you may consider installing a sprinkler system that will turn on automatically if there is a fire. Most importantly, create an escape plan with your family. This may be the difference between life and death one day. At least three escape routes should be created incase any of the exits are blocked. A rope ladder should be kept in the upper levels of the home incase you cannot reach the lower level. Teach your children the importance of crawling on the floor when there is smoke and feeling a door for heat before opening it. No matter how old or young you are, a trip to your local fire department may not be a bad idea. They can suggest fire safety tips that you and I may never have thought about.
You can also find fire safety tips on the web. For those of you with children, I recommend they visit www.firesafety.gov/kids/flash.shtm so they can learn about fire safety and play games at the same time. REMEMBER: Knowledge is power, and preparation is the key! The more prepared you are, the safer you and your family will be.
