Fire Safety and Evacuation

Residential fire is a leading cause of accidental death. Most fire

related deaths occur at night when occupants suffocate in their

sleep from smoke and toxic gases, rather than from burns. To

help reduce this risk, the following program should be

implemented.

Minimize fire hazards. Smoking in bed, cleaning with

flammable liquids such as gasoline, leaving children home

alone, and using unsafe holiday decorations are some of

the common causes of household fire.

Install a fire alarm system. The primary purpose of this

system is to protect lives by giving the earliest possible

warning of danger.

A smoke detector (indicated in the figures by an inverted

"s" in a circle) should be provided to detect smoke in each

sleeping area in a home.

Practice an escape plan. Because there can be very little

time between detection of a fire and the time it becomes

deadly, it is important that every member of the family

understand how to quickly evacuate according to the plan.
