Safety Tips
Every family in the U.S. should practice exiting their home as quickly as possible through the nearest exit
Parents should explain to their children that exiting their home as quickly as possible and not returning into the home is most important
Develop a plan with a meeting point outside the home and drill this plan with your family
Know that most fires occur within the home, and your home is where you spend the majority of your time. This is an important reason for practicing your plan!
If your home has unusual problems, finding them before a fire occurs could prevent a tragedy
