Test smoke alarms weekly (use the test button or flashlight for newer models).
Install carbon monoxide detectors if you don’t have them.
Remember: CO is odorless and deadly — from fireplaces, furnaces, stoves, grills, and vehicles.
Plan two or more escape routes in case one is blocked.
Choose a meeting spot outside your home.
Teach children never re-enter a burning home.
Place smoke alarms outside bedrooms and near stairways.
Keep 3 feet of space between heaters and anything that can burn.
Use heaters only as a temporary heat source.
Unplug and cool before storing.
Never use extension cords with space heaters.
