Fire Safety Essentials
Safety Essentials for Your Home in Case of Fire and Smoke. Because the toxic gases from a fire could keep you from waking up should a fire ignite while you're sleeping, maintaining working smoke detectors and fire extinguishers for every level of your home is a safety must. 1 Install smoke detectors on the ceiling (smoke rises) in every bedroom and outside bedroom doors. You'll also want these at the top of stairways, and in any den or office in the basement. Test the devices monthly and replace the batteries at least once a year. 2 Install fire extinguishers on each floor as well as in every bedroom. This includes the kitchen or a home workshop. Be sure to check fire extinguishers monthly to ensure the light's on and the batteries are working. These two simple items, regularly checked, could very well keep a small mishap from becoming a disaster in your home.  Custom Search 10 Steps to A Safer Home
