Fire Prevention at Home

It is important that we know how to prevent fire in our home. There are some information and tips of what we can do to prevent fire.
Install Smoke Detectors.
Place the smoke detectors in every corners of your house, especially in the kitchen. Working smoke detectors can alert you to a fire in time for you to escape. Always check your smoke detectors batteries once a month.
Keep an Eye on Smokers.
If some of the members of the family is smoking try to convince them not to smoke inside the house. There must be a smoking place like in the garden , in the terrace or go outside in the street. Careless smoking is a leading cause of fire deaths.
Cook Carefully.
When cooking, check the stove or oven to make sure that they are working properly, never leave cooking unattended. You must have a timer to reminds you that the food your cooking is already done. Keep cooking areas clear of combustibles and clean the stove or oven, check the pipeline of the gas before and after cooking.
Plan Your Escape From Fire.
Sit down with your family and design an escape plan . Make sure that everyone knows at least two unobstructed ways- doors and windows- out every room.
Remember, matches and lighters are tools, not toys. Store all matches and lighters up high, where kids can't see or reach them, preferably in a locked cabinet.
Use Electricity Safety.
If an electric appliance smokes or has an unsual smell, unplug it immediately, and have it serviced before using again. Replace cracked or frayed electrical cord. Don't overload extension cords or run them under rugs. Don't tamper with your fuse box or use improperly sized fuses.
Check all electrical outlets regularly. If a fuse blows or a circuit breaker is tripped, don't just replace or reset it. Find out the problem and correct it.
