In your lifetime you hope to never experience a fire damage to your home. A fire disaster can cause little to major damage to the structure of your home along with all the belongings. There are some easy things you can do to reduce the risk of a fire.

• Smoke spreads fast. Working smoke alarms give you early warning so you can get outside quickly.
• A closed door may slow the spread of smoke, heat, and fire. Install smoke alarms in every sleeping room and outside each separate sleeping area. Install alarms on every level of the home. Install alarms in the basement. Smoke alarms should interconnect. When one sounds, they all sound.
• Large homes may need extra smoke alarms.
• It is best to use interconnected smoke alarms. One smoke alarm sound they all sound.
• Test all smoke alarms at least once a month. Press the test button to be sure the alarm is working.
• A smoke alarm should be on the ceiling or high on a wall. Keep smoke alarms away from the kitchen to reduce false alarms. They should be at least 10 feet from the stove.
• People who are hard of hearing or deaf can get special alarms. These alarms have strobe lights in bed shakers.
• Replace all smoke alarms when they are 10 years old.
• Smoke alarms are an important part of a home fire escape plan.
