Top Ten Fire Safety Tips:

• Smoke alarms save lives - install and maintain them.
  
  
• Smoking and drinking are a lethal combination. Smoking carelessness is a leading cause of fire. Don't empty ashtrays into the trash.
  
  
• Keep matches, lighters, and candles away from children.
  
  
• Be careful with candles. Don't leave them unattended. Never sleep with candles burning.
  
  
• Remove electrical cords from the under rugs and behind radiators. Never nail or staple the cord to calls or molding.
  
  
• Don't overload outlets and extension cords.
  
  
• Never put a portable space heater near drapes, furniture, bedding or other flammable materials.
  
  
• Move flammable liquids stored near the stove or other heat source to a safe, distant location.
  
  
• Remove all materials on or near your stove that could catch fire, including paper, dish cloths, etc.
  
  
• Early notification can make all the difference - in case of fire call 911
