Every twenty-four seconds, fire departments in the US respond to a house fire. It is estimated that you have as little as two minutes to get out safely when a fire starts. Here are three ways of preventing fires and coping with emergencies Install smoke alarms The smoke from a fire can kill. Install smoke detectors inside every room and on all floors of your home. The smoke detectors should be tested every month to ensure they are working. Create a fire escape plan Fires spread rapidly, and every second is critical. Make sure you have developed a fire escape plan to help your family to get out in under two minutes after the smoke detector goes off. If possible, the escape plan should identify at least two ways of getting out of every room. Maintain electrical safety A leading cause of fires at home is electrical malfunctions. To prevent such fires, ensure that only a qualified electrician makes any wiring changes in your home.
