Fire Safety Best Practices
• Test all smoke detectors monthly. To learn more about smoke detectors click here: Smoke Detectors
• Never remove batteries or disable the alarm. If a smoke detector needs a new battery please let us know and we will replace it.
• Learn about your home's fire escape plan (on the refrigerator) and practice it.
• If your smoke detector alarm goes off, get out of the building quickly and stay out.
• Stay in the kitchen when cooking. Cook only when you are alert and not sleepy, drowsy from medicine or alcohol.
• If you have to discharge a fire extinguisher use the PASS method: Pull the pin, Aim, Squeeze, and Sweep. This will allow you to discharge the extinguisher. If you aim at the flames (which is frequently the temptation), the extinguishing agent will fly right through and do no good. To learn more about fire extinguishers click here: Fire Extinguishers
• Fireworks are prohibited.
• Always sleep with your bedroom door closed.
• All of our homes are equipped with Fire Escape Ladders in each bedroom above ground level. To learn more about this please click here: Fire Escape Ladders.
