Fire Safety and Evacuation

Residential fire is a leading cause of accidental death. Most

fire related deaths occur at night when occupants suffocate in

their sleep from smoke and toxic gases, rather than from

burns. To help reduce this risk, the following program should

be implemented.

1. Minimize fire hazards. Smoking in bed, cleaning with

flammable liquids such as gasoline, leaving children

home alone, and using unsafe holiday decorations are

some of the common causes of household fire.

2. Install a fire alarm system. The primary purpose of this

system is to protect lives by giving the earliest possible

warning of danger.

3. A smoke detector (indicated in the figures by an inverted

“S” in a circle) should be provided to detect smoke in

each sleeping area in a home.

4. Practice an escape plan. Because there can be very little

time between detection of a fire and the time it becomes

deadly, it is important that every member of the family

understand how to quickly evacuate according to the

plan.
