Install Fire Extinguishers
Having more than one fire extinguishers
in your house is always critical as we
can prevent small fires turning into big
ones. Always keep one in the kitchen,
one in the garage, and one in any
workplace areas of your house, since
these are the places where most
residential fires start. And most
important of all fire protection advices
alwyads make sure your fire
extinguishers are in proper working
order. There is no point of having them
in home if they are expired.
Things that you need to avoid
Mostly residential fire happens because of negligence and ignorance. Minute carelessness
like- smoking in bed, leaving the electric goods like hair straightener, dryer, oven etc turned
on. Always keep space heaters at least 3 feet away from any flammable surface, specially
walls, since they are another major source of house fires.
Things that you must do
Educate everyone in the family about what to do in an event of fire. Draw a floor plan with
at least 2 ways of exit. Include all the information about the house- windows, doors,stairs in
that layout. Some other vital Fire Protection precautions that we can take are:
• Check the dimensions of windows and doors—are they tall and broad enough for you
to escape, do they open easy enough?
• Work out a way of informing others and alerting each other in case of fire. Keep all
the necessary numbers at reach for everyone.
• Always sleep with the bedroom doors closed. This will cut deadly heat and smoke
out of bedrooms, giving you additional time to escape.
• When it catches fire, time is critical.Don't waste your time in getting dressed,
searching for pets or valuables. Just leave the place.
• Roll out of bed. Evacuate by bending low. One breath of toxic smoke or gases may
be enough to kill.
• Feel all doors before opening them. If a door is hot, get out another way.
• Practice evacuating the building blindfolded. In a real fire situation, the amount of
smoke generated by a fire most likely will make it difficult to see.

2. • Practice staying low to the ground when escaping.
• Learn to stop, drop to the ground, roll if clothes catch fire.
