                 Practice Safe Behaviors

To prevent our house from catching fire in the first place, there are some safety precautions that you should take.

• Teach your children fire is a tool, not a toy.
• Always be in the kitchen when you're cooking something. Don't leave cooking food unattended.
• Do not smoke in the house. Make sure you put out your cigarettes completely.
• Dispose of any electronics with frayed wires, which could lead to a fire.
• Avoid lighting candles unless they're directly in your light of vision. Do not leave a lighted candle in a room where no one is.
• Always check that you have turned the gas off before leaving the kitchen.
• Try to use a lighter instead of matches.
• Have a Fire Extinguisher and make sure everyone knows how to use it, in case of an emergency.
