Fire and Burn Safety Essentials

Fire and Burn Safety Essentials!


  • Install smoke alarms on every level of your home, and replace batteries yearly.
  • Make and practice a fire escape plan with at least two ways out of every room.
  • Store matches and lighters in locked cabinets. Teach your child to never touch them.
  • Make the stove area a "Kid-Free Zone". Three feet is a good distance.
  • Never leave the kitchen unattended while cooking.
  • Place space heaters at least three feet from anything that can catch fire.
  • Set your water heater to no higher than 120 degrees Fahrenheit.
