P ractice staying low to the ground when escaping. F eel all doors before opening them. If a door is hot, get out another way. L earn to stop, drop to the ground, roll if clothes catch fire. Install smoke detectors Check smoke detectors once a month and change the batteries at least once a year.
Smoke detectors sense abnormal amounts of smoke or invisible combustion gases in the air.
They can detect both smoldering and burning fires. At least one smoke detector should be installed on every level of a structure. Post emergency numbers near telephones. Be aware that if a fire threatens your home, you should not place the call to emergency services from inside the home. It is better to get out and place the call to fire authorities from a safe location outside the home.
