Give up smoking, or at least carefully dispose of used cigarettes. Cigarettes are the most common cause of fires in homes. Keep cigarette lighters away from children. Install smoke detectors in your home on every floor. Check them monthly for proper functioning.
More people die from smoke inhalation than from burns.
Smoke alarms detect smoke long before your nose can. Teach your children not to hide if a fire occurs in the house. Teach them to go outside. Rehearse and have a fire drill. Before you place a child less than 1 year old in a car seat, check the seat's temperature.
