Prioritize Your Family’s Safety

At any moment, a fire can pose a threat to your home and loved ones. Our Home Fire Safety guide is dedicated to equipping you with the knowledge and tools needed to prevent, prepare for, and respond to fires, ensuring the safety of your family and property.

Prevention Tips

1. Install Smoke Alarms:

Place smoke alarms in key areas of your home, including bedrooms and common areas. Regularly test and replace batteries to ensure they are in working condition.

2. Kitchen Safety:

Exercise caution in the kitchen by never leaving cooking unattended. Keep flammable items away from the stove, and have a fire extinguisher readily available.

3. Electrical Safety:

Inspect electrical cords for damage and avoid overloading outlets. Hire a professional for any electrical work, and replace outdated wiring.

Emergency Preparedness

1. Create an Evacuation Plan:

Develop a clear evacuation plan with designated meeting points. Practice fire drills regularly with all members of your household.

2. Emergency Contacts:

Ensure everyone in your household knows emergency contact numbers. Display them prominently on the fridge and save them in mobile phones.

3. Fire Extinguisher Use:

Familiarize yourself with the proper use of fire extinguishers. Keep one in the kitchen and others in key areas of your home.

During a Fire

1. Stay Low and Crawl:

In the event of a fire, stay low to avoid smoke inhalation. Crawl to safety if needed, as smoke rises.

2. Close Doors:

Close doors behind you as you leave to slow down the spread of flames and smoke.

3. Meet at the Designated Spot:

During an evacuation, gather at the pre-determined meeting spot outside your home. Ensure everyone is accounted for.

After a Fire

1. Contact Emergency Services:

Call emergency services immediately if a fire occurs. Only re-enter your home when authorities deem it safe to do so.

2. Property Inspection:

Assess your home for damage and contact professionals for necessary repairs. Document damage for insurance purposes.
