Install Barriers Such as safety Gates Around Fireplaces, Ovens and Furnaces

1. Make sure your fireplace is protected by a sturdy screen. Remember that glass screens can take a long time to cool down.
2. If you are using a fireplace or wood stove, make sure you burn only seasoned hardwood such as oak, ash or maple.
3. If small children live in or visit your home, use a safety gate around your fireplace or wood stove.

Blow Out Candles and Store Matches Out of reach

1. Keep candles at least 12 inches away from anything that can burn, and always blow them out when you leave the room or before you go to sleep.
2. Make a habit of placing matches, gasoline and lighters in a safe place, out of children’s reach. Avoid novelty lighters or lighters that look like toys.
3. Teach kids never to play with matches and lighters. Make a habit of placing these items up and away from young children.
