MAPC Fire Safety in Your Home

Practice fire safety in your home.

  • Keep matches and lighters in a secured drawer or cabinet.
  • Have your children tell you when they find matches or lighters.
  • Develop a home fire escape plan, practice it with your children, and designate a place to meet outside.
  • Teach children the nature of fire. It is FAST, HOT, DARK, and DEADLY!
  • Install smoke alarms on every level in your home.
  • Familiarize children with the sound of the smoke alarm.
