Install smoke alarms
Place alarms on every level, inside every bedroom, and outside sleeping areas. Test them monthly and replace batteries at least once a year.
Most home fires are preventable. We teach the simple steps that protect families, schools, and entire neighborhoods — one demonstration at a time.
Four essentials
These are the same principles we cover in every school visit and community event. Simple, repeatable, and proven.
Place alarms on every level, inside every bedroom, and outside sleeping areas. Test them monthly and replace batteries at least once a year.
Practice a home fire-escape plan with your family twice a year. Identify two ways out of every room and a meeting place outside.
If your clothes catch fire — stop where you are, drop to the ground, cover your face, and roll over and over until the flames are out.
Stay in the kitchen while frying, grilling, or broiling. Keep anything that can burn at least three feet from the stovetop.
