Smoke
Alarms
TEST
YOUR ALARM FOR LIFE! Your
smoke alarm has the power to save your life. Or does it? Test all
the smoke alarms in your home. For the life of the alarm and for
the lives of your loved ones.
WHEN
WAS THE LAST TIME YOU TESTED YOUR SMOKE ALARMS?
Last month? Last year? Can't remember? Test
each one, every month, so you'll know they'll be ready to protect
you and your family if there's a fire.
DO
YOU HAVE THE TIME?
Can you afford to spend a few minutes each
month to test the smoke alarms in your home? In a fire, you'll
need every second to get out safely, and the early warning from
a smoke alarm can make the difference.

Escape
Planning
HOW
MUCH TIME DO YOU HAVE TO GET OUT OF A FIRE?
Not as much
as you think. Real fires are hot, smokey and dark. You may have
only a very few minutes to safely escape from fire. Then call
the fire department from a neighbor's telephone.
IF
YOU HAVE A FIRE TONIGHT WILL YOU GET OUT SAFELY?
You'll have
a better chance of getting out safely if you've planned ahead. Develop
a fire escape plan and practice it with the whole family.
GET
OUT, STAY OUT What
would you do if your home caught on fire? There is no time to
think about these questions in a real fire. Develop an escape plan
with two ways out of every room. Make sure every exit is accessible,
including windows. Once out, stay out!
