🔥🏠 FIRE SAFETY STARTS AT HOME 🏠🔥

This summer, when children are home from school and families are spending more time together, take a few moments to make fire safety a priority.

✅ Test your smoke alarms monthly

✅ Keep a fire extinguisher accessible

✅ Create and practice a family escape plan

✅ Check your home for potential fire hazards

✅ Teach children what to do in case of a fire

A simple plan can save lives. Make sure every member of your family knows two ways out of each room and has a designated meeting place outside.

🚒 Be Prepared. Be Safe. Save Lives.
