Is there any other fire safety equipment that I need for my home?
Having working smoke alarms and fire extinguishers in your home greatly
reduces your risk of injury or death in a fire. However, First Alert also
recommends that you have flashlights in every bedroom in case of a fire
emergency. Since fire is very dark, a reliable working flashlight can help light
your way to safety. Additionally, carbon monoxide alarms are a vital safety
product necessary in any home since carbon monoxide is the leading cause of
accidental poisoning death in the U.S.**
What should I do if I hear the smoke alarms sound?
NEVER IGNORE THE SOUND OF A SMOKE ALARM. If the smoke alarm is
sounding its alarm, there is a reason. You and your family must be able to
escape quickly and safely. Here are several steps your family can learn and
rehearse for an emergency:
1. Have an escape plan. Discuss and practice your escape plans. Know two exits
from any room in the house.
2. Feel if the door is hot. Always feel the door to see if it is hot before opening It
to escape. If the doorknob or door is hot, do not use that exit. Use your alternate
exit to escape.
3. Crawl on the floor. Smoke from a fire rises and so does the temperature. If you
crawl on the floor there will be less smoke and the heat from the fire will be less
severe.
4. Meet at a prearranged spot outside the home. If you clearly show where
everyone is supposed to meet outside the home when there is a fire, it will be
easier to know who is safe.
5. Call the fire department from a neighbor's home. Be prepared to give your full
name and address to the operator at the other end of the line. Stay on the line
until the operator has all of the information needed.
