1. Have a working smoke alarm on each level of your house! Change the batteries and vacuum the units at least twice a year. I normally recommend when the time changes...its an easy way to remember.
2. Install a carbon monoxide detector in common areas of your home.
3. Have a fire extinguisher in your home, know how to use it. Make sure its easy to lift and operate.
4. Know the location of the fuse box and the main shutoff valves for the water and gas lines of your home.
5. Make sure you have a family escape plan. designate a safe meeting area away from your home once evacuated.
These 5 steps should help in case your home is ever in an emergency. Keep in mind to stay calm...be safe!
