Escape Planning

Plan Ahead! If a fire breaks out in your home, you may have only a few minutes to get out safely after the smoke alarm sounds. Everyone should know what to do and where to go if there is a fire.

Home Safety for People with Disabilities

There’s no place like home. It is a place to relax, share laughs with family, and enjoy home-cooked meals. But did you know that the majority of fire deaths occur in the home? It is important to help everyone in the home stay safe from fire.

Cooking Safety

Cooking brings family and friends together, provides an outlet for creativity, and can be relaxing. But did you know that cooking fires are the number one cause of home fires and home injuries? By following a few safety tips, you can help prevent these fires.

Home Fire Sprinklers

More than 80% of fire deaths occur in the home. Home fire sprinklers can save lives. They respond quickly and effectively to fire, often extinguishing it before the fire department arrives. Only the sprinkler closest to the fire will activate, spraying water on the fire.

Grilling Safety

There’s nothing like outdoor grilling. It’s one of the most popular ways to cook food. But a grill placed too close to anything that can burn is a fire hazard. Grills can become very hot, causing burn injuries. Follow these tips, and you’ll be on your way to safe grilling.

Winter Holiday Safety

Winter holidays are a time for families and friends to get together. But they also bring a greater risk of fire. Following a few simple safety tips will help ensure a happy, fire-safe holiday season.
