Protect yourself and your family. Most fatal home fires occur at night when people are asleep. The sooner a sleeping person wakes up and begins to escape, the greater his or her chances are of surviving the fire. Smoke alarms are the most effective low-cost early-warning device available to help ensure the safety of you and your family. A smoke alarm will detect smoke and sound the alarm giving you precious time to escape.
A Quick Checklist
Make sure everyone knows the sound of the alarm and what to do if fire occurs.
Develop and regularly practice your home fire escape plan.
Know two ways out of every room and have a pre-arranged meeting place outside. Once outside, stay out!
Never go back inside for any reason and call the Fire Department from a neighbour's home.
