Exit Drills In The Home

Something that every family should practice regardless of the age of the people in the house.  Even if you live alone, you should still make sure you know every way out of your home in the event of a fire.  Create a home escape plan using this from the NFPA.

• Fire escape planning and practicing a home fire escape plan.
• Clear your escape routes Make sure windows and doors in your home are unblocked.
• Security bars: Sometimes a device that prevents one hazard creates another.
• Sleepover fire safety for kids Is your child safe staying overnight at a friend's home? 

Carefully decorating Christmas trees can help make your holidays safer.
