Fire Deaths and Injuries: Prevention Tips Never leave food unattended on a stove.Keep cooking areas free of flammable
objects (such as, potholders and towels). Avoid wearing clothes with long, loose-fitting
sleeves when cooking. - Never smoke in bed or leave burning cigarettes unattended.
- Do not empty smoldering ashes in
a trash can, and keep ashtrays away from upholstered furniture and curtains.
- Never place portable space heaters near flammable materials (such as, drapery).
- Keep all matches and lighters out of reach of children. Store them up high, preferably
in a locked cabinet.
- Install smoke alarms
on every floor of the home, including the basement, and particularly near rooms in which people sleep.
- Use long-life smoke alarms with lithium-powered batteries and hush buttons, which
allow persons to stop false alarms quickly. If long-life alarms are not available, use regular alarms, and replace the batteries
annually.
- Test all smoke alarms every month
to ensure they work properly.
- Devise a family
fire escape plan and practice it every 6 months. In the plan, describe at least two different ways each family member can
escape every room, and designate a safe place in front of the home for family members to meet after escaping a fire.
- If possible, install or retrofit fire sprinklers
into home.
