Fire Safety

1. Installing and Maintaining Smoke Detectors:

Ensure your home is a haven by installing smoke detectors in key areas. Optimal locations include bedrooms, hallways, and common living spaces. Regularly test detectors and replace batteries at least twice a year to guarantee continuous functionality.

2. Fire Extinguisher Usage and Placement:

Equip your home with fire extinguishers in accessible locations, such as the kitchen and near potential fire hazards. Familiarize yourself with the PASS technique: Pull the pin, Aim at the base of the fire, Squeeze the handle, and Sweep side to side. Regularly check the extinguisher's pressure gauge and replace as needed.

3. Creating Fire Escape Plans:

Prepare for the unexpected by crafting a comprehensive fire escape plan for your household. Identify primary and secondary escape routes from each room and establish a designated meeting point outside. Practice fire drills regularly to ensure everyone knows what to do in case of an emergency.
