Keeping a cool head about fire safety. Sadly, many families lose their homes every year to fires. The causes of these fires vary. Sometimes electrical wiring gets too hot. Sometimes food is forgotten in the oven or a dish towel falls onto a burner.

Sometimes people are careless with matches, candles or cigarettes. Whatever the cause, home fires take families’home, possessions and sometimes even lives.

Heading Off Trouble: There are many things you can do to prevent fires in your home. Do a safety check with your parents. Make sure that all smoke alarms in the house work. Monthly tests are a good idea. Check to see that toasters are unplugged when not used and that towels, curtains and some other flammable(易燃)things are out of the way of the stovetop and oven. Look at the electrical outlets(插座)to make sure that they are in working order and not overloaded. If you have a fireplace, put a strong screen in front of it to keep fires from coming into the room.

The Great Escape: Even with careful checks, fires can still happen. That is why it is important for families to have a fire safety plan. First, plan two escape routes from every room in the house, if possible. That way, if smoke or flames are coming in one way, there is still another choice. Second, agree on an outside meeting place like a tree or light pole so that everyone will know where to go. Finally, practice your fire escape plan at least twice a year. If your home has a second floor, make sure everyone practices, from a first-floor window, how to use a safety ladder to escape.

A fire can be a scary experience, but being smart about fire prevention, having a plan for fire safety and putting the plan into action in the event of fire can save lives.
