Fire Safety Tips

• Install Smoke Alarms: Place alarms on every level of your home and inside every bedroom. Test them monthly to ensure they’re working.

• Create an Escape Plan: Plan at least two ways out of every room and designate a meeting place outside your home. Practice this plan with everyone in your household.

• Keep Flammable Items Away from Heat Sources: Store combustible materials like paper, cloth, and gasoline away from heat sources.

• Don’t Overload Electrical Circuits: Plugging too many devices into one outlet can cause overheating. Always follow manufacturer instructions and avoid using damaged wires.

Wildfire Preparedness
Wildfires can be unpredictable, and it’s essential to stay prepared:

• Create defensible space around your home: Clear leaves, dead plants, and other debris from the immediate area.

• Have an emergency kit ready: This should include food, water, flashlights, medications, and important documents.

• Stay informed: Monitor local news and emergency alerts for updates on fire conditions.
