Fire Safety Tips
Keep portable heaters and space heaters at least three feet (one meter) away from anything that can burn. Keep children and pets away from heaters, and turn them off when you leave home or go to sleep.
Smoke Alarms Work!
Test alarms every month and replace batteries once a year, or whenever an alarm “chirps” to signal low battery power. Never “borrow” a smoke alarm’s battery for another use – a disabled alarm can’t save your life. Replace all alarms that are more than 10 years old.
SMOKE ALARMS DO SAVE LIVES!
Burns
Run cool water over a burn for 10 to 15 minutes. Never apply ice. Never put butter or any other grease on a burn. If the burned skin blisters or is charred, see a doctor immediately.!
