| Fire safety at home : Smoke alarms or detectors work even when you cannot smell smoke. Tips for proper use include: - Install them in hallways, in or near all sleeping areas, the kitchen, and garage. - Test them once a month. Change the batteries regularly. Another option is an alarm with a 10-year battery. - Dust or vacuum over the smoke alarm as needed. Using a fire extinguisher can put out a small fire to keep it from getting out of control. Tips for use include: - Keep fire extinguishers in handy locations, at least one on each level of your home. - Be sure to have a fire extinguisher in your kitchen and one in your garage. - Know how to use a fire extinguisher. Teach everyone in your family how to use one, too. In an emergency, you must be able to act fast. | |
