Develop Fire-Safe Habits

Protect your home

  • Install smoke alarms on every level of your home and outside every sleeping area. Also, install acarbon monoxide alarm in a central location outside each separate sleeping area.
  • Keep matches and lighters up high, away from children, preferably in a locked cabinet.
  • Use flashlights when the power is out, not candles.
  • Make sure your house number is easily readable from the street, even at night
  • Download the Carbon Monoxide Poisoning Fact Sheet

Cook more safely

  • Stay in the kitchen when frying, grilling or broiling food. Stay in the home while simmering, baking, roasting or boiling food.
  • Keep pets off cooking surfaces and countertops.
  • Keep the stove area clean and clear of things that can catch fire, such as pot holders, towels, curtains, bags, and other appliances.
  • If you are cooking and a fire starts in a pan, slide a lid over the burning pan and turn off the burner. Leave the lid in place until the pan is completely cool. Moving the pan can cause serious injury or spread the fire. Never pour water on grease fires.
