Fire incidents can be prevented with the right knowledge and habits. The following essential guidelines are designed to help you, your family, and your community stay protected from fire hazards at all times.
Unplug & Inspect Electrical Equipment
Unplug all electrical equipment when not in use and regularly check electrical systems to avoid overloaded circuits and faulty wiring.
Prevent Gas Leaks & Ensure Ventilation
Check LPG tanks regularly for leaks and always keep gas cylinders in a ventilated location to avoid dangerous vapor buildup.
Enforce a Strict No Smoking Policy
Carelessly discarded cigarettes are a common source of structure fires. Enforce designated smoking and disposal areas.
Secure All Flammable Materials
Keep candles, matches, lighters, and other flammables in safe locked storage and away from children at all times.
Plan Your Emergency Evacuation Route
Establish family escape routes and conduct routine drills so each family member knows exactly what to do during fire emergencies.
Close Doors & Protect Against Smoke
Closing doors can slow fire spread significantly, while a wet cloth over the nose and mouth helps reduce dangerous smoke inhalation.
Move to a Room With Outdoor Windows
If trapped, stay in a room with windows, signal rescuers from the opening, and avoid navigating smoke-filled hallways.
Stop, Drop, and Roll — Stay Calm
Running fuels flames. Immediately stop, drop to the floor, and roll to extinguish clothing fire. Shout for help and remain as calm as possible.
Call 911 Immediately & State Your Location
Contact emergency responders immediately, provide your exact location clearly, and stay on the line following the dispatcher's instructions until help arrives.
