Top Ten Fire Safety

Smoke alarms save lives - install and maintain them.
Smoking and drinking are a lethal combination. Smoking carelessness is a leading cause of fire. Don't empty ashtrays into the trash.
Keep matches, lighters, and candles away from children.
Be careful with candles. Don't leave them unattended. Never sleep with candles burning.
Remove electrical cords from under rugs and behind radiators. Never nail or staple the cord to walls or molding.
Never overload outlets and extension cords.
Never put a portable space heater near drapes, furniture, bedding, or other flammable materials.
Move flammable liquids stored near the stove or other heat source to a safe, distant location.
Remove all materials on or near your stove that could catch fire, including paper, dishcloths, etc.
