A working smoke alarm is the most important item in your home. They protect your life, the lives of your loved ones, the lives of firefighters and reduce the damage to your home if a fire should occur. Having working smoke alarms in your home increases your chance to escape from a fire.
A home fire escape plan and working smoke alarms will help you exit your house safely if there is a fire. Make a plan and know two ways out. Once you are out of the house STAY OUT & MEET a your designated meeting place.
