Fire Safety Tips

9/16/2019 (Permalink)

In an Emergency

1. In the event of a fire, leave your home immediately. Once you’re out of the house, stay out.
2. Wait to call 911 until after you are out of the home.

If you live in an apartment, pull the Alarm

1. If there is a fire and you don’t hear the building’s fire alarm, pull the nearest fire alarm “pull station” on your way out. 
2. Know all of your building’s fire escape exits and use the stairs to get out. Don’t use the elevator.

If you’re stuck inside, cover the areas where smoke might come in

1. If you cannot safely escape your home or apartment, keep smoke out of the room by covering vents and cracks around the door, and call 911 or your fire department as quickly as possible.
2. Then signal for help at the window with a light-colored cloth or a flashlight.
