More than 4,000 Americans die each year in fires. Most of these deaths can be prevented by having a working smoke alarm. As a part of Fire Prevention Week 2011, the Federal Emergency Management Agency is sharing tips for keeping your home and family safe.
Here are four simple things you can do today to be ready for a fire:
- Install smoke alarms on every level of your home
- Test smoke alarms once a month
- Be sure to change smoke alarm batteries at least once a year
- Make and practice your family’s fire escape plan
