If you don't have these essential lifesaving
devices, put them at the top of your shopping list.
Smoke Detectors should be installed on each floor of your home and outside each bedroom.
Avoid placing smoke detectors in the kitchen, where false alarms are common.
Test your smoke detectors at least once a month and replace their batteries once a year.
Also, buy a fire extinguisher for your home and make a habit of inspecting it on a regular basis.
Make sure every member of your household knows what the smoke detector alarm sounds like and what to do if there is a fire.
Cigarette fires are still the leading cause of fire.
Use an ashtray that's large, deep and will not tip over.
Empty ashtrays often. Wet ashtray contents before dumping them.
After a party, check all surface areas for smoldering cigarette butts - even behind pillows and cushions.
Thought for the Day
Yesterday is History...
Tomorrow is a Mystery... Today is a Gift... That's why it's called the Present.
