Safety Tips
Fire Safety Guidelines
Ensure fire safety at home by checking smoke alarms regularly, creating a fire escape plan, and keeping flammable materials away from heat sources.
In case of a fire, remember to stay low, use the closest exit, never re-enter a burning building, and call 911 immediately for help.
