Fire Prevention Tips

  • Always stay in the kitchen while cooking.
  • Keep grills at least ten feet away from other objects, including the house and any shrubs or bushes.
  • If you must keep matches or lighters in your jacket or purse, put them in a place where children cannot see or touch them.
  • Space heaters need space. Keep them at least three feet away from things that can burn, such as curtains or stacks of newspaper. Always turn off heaters when leaving the room or going to bed.
  • Only light candles when an adult is in the room. Do not allow children to keep candles or incense in their rooms.
