Safety Tip #1

NEVER LEAVE
COOKING UNATTENDED

Cooking is the leading cause of home fires. Always stay in the kitchen while frying, grilling, or broiling. If you must leave, turn off the stove even for just a minute.

Keep a lid nearby to smother small pan fires instantly.
Safety Tip #2

AVOID
OVERLOADING OUTLETS

Plugging too many devices into one outlet overheats wiring and sparks fires inside your walls. Use one high-wattage appliance per outlet and never daisy-chain extension cords.

Replace any cord that feels warm or shows fraying immediately.
Safety Tip #3

REMEMBER
THE PASS METHOD

Pull the pin, Aim at the base of the fire, Squeeze the handle, and Sweep side to side. Knowing PASS can stop a small fire before it destroys your entire home.

Keep an extinguisher in your kitchen and check its pressure gauge monthly.
Safety Tip #4

PRACTICE YOUR
ESCAPE PLAN

In a real fire, panic sets in fast. Rehearse your escape plan with everyone in your household at least twice a year so that every person knows exactly where to go without thinking.

Agree on one outdoor meeting point so everyone is accounted for immediately.
