Do you have a plan in case of a fire?

If a fire broke out tonight while you were sleeping, would you and your family get out alive?

Today is a great time to develop a home fire escape plan. Teach it to and practice it with your family on a regular basis.

Check your smoke detector and replace the battery at least once a year.

And finally, remember, if there is a fire, teach everyone to get out and stay out, It’s your best fire- safe response.
