Safety Tips

Fire and Burn Safety

Do not leave children alone around open flames, stoves or candles.

Keep matches, gasoline, lighters and other flammable materials out of children's reach.

Teach children a plan for escaping your home in a fire and practice it.

Install smoke alarms in your home on every level and in every sleeping area.

Test them once a month.

Replace the batteries once a year.

Replace alarms every 10 years.

Before bathing children in heated water, always run your open hand through the water to check its temperature.

Keep hot foods and liquids away from table and counter edges. Never carry children and hot foods or liquids at the same time.

Keep things that easily catch fire (such as papers) away from heat sources like stoves, heaters and fireplaces.
