To All Emergency Responders -Thank You for

All You Do

SMOKE

ALARMS

Smoke alarms are

an important part

of a home fire

escape plan.

When there is a

fire, smoke spreads

fast. Working

smoke alarms give

you early warning

so you can get

outside quickly.

COOKING

SAFETY

If you have a

cooking fire...

Just get out! When you

leave, close the door

behind you to help contain

the fire.

Call 9-1-1 or the local

emergency number after

you leave.

If you try to fight the fire,

be sure others are getting

out and you have a clear

way out.

Keep a lid nearby when

youre cooking to smother

small grease fires. Smother

the fire by sliding the lid

over the pan and turn off

the stovetop. Leave the

pan covered until it is

completely cooled.

For an oven fire turn off

the heat and keep the door

closed.
