Fire Prevention Tip

Here are three important things you can do to reduce your risk of injury from a home fire:

  1. Make sure your home has properly installed and working smoke alarms;
  2. Plan and practice a fire escape plan; and
  3. In case of a fire, get out and stay out. Going back into a burning home can be deadly.
