What is Your Home Escape Plan?
If a fire occurred in your home today, would your family be prepared? Could you get out safely? Everyone must know what to do and where to go when the smoke alarm sounds. Take a few minutes with everyone in your household to make a Home Fire Escape Plan.
Families are encouraged to make a home fire escape plan and learn how to keep their homes safe from fire. Take a few moments and visit Sparky.org for Parents to find all the resources you need to keep your family more fire safe.
Kids are also invited to visit Sparky the Fire Dog for some FUN activities.
Cooking is STILL the #1 cause of residential fires in Ontario
Many fire injuries and deaths are caused by:
- Unattended cooking and distractions.
- Loose clothing and articles near the stove.
- Children playing near the stove.
- Attempting to extinguish a grease fire with water.
- Attempting to cook while under the influence of alcohol.
Always make sure to:
- Stay in the kitchen and pay attention when cooking.
- Drink responsibly when cooking.
- If a fire does occur, get out, stay out and call 9-1-1 immediately!
Remember: Smoke alarms give occupants the early warning needed to escape in the event of an emergency.
PLEASE, for your families' sake...CHECK YOUR SMOKE ALARMS! Your lives may depend on it!
