Fire Safety Tips

Room by Room : Episode RXR-1110 -- More Projects »
Matt Fox discusses these tips for fire safety:
  • Smoke detectors provide the first line of defense in a home setting. At least one is necessary but the more, the better.
  • When you change your clocks twice a year, change the batteries in smoke detectors .
  • Decide on a family escape plan with two exit possibilities in case one is blocked . Once there is a warning from the smoke detector, use either the designated door or window to exit the building and go to the family meeting place. Once safe, call 911 from a neighbor's home. You may have less than one minute to escape, so practice the plan often.
