Teaching children what to do before an emergency happens can make all the difference.

Today's Fire Safety Tips for Kids focus on smoke alarms and detection:

🔴 Learn what a smoke alarm sounds like and know it means to get out quickly.

🔴 Help an adult test smoke alarms each month to make sure they are working properly.

🔴 If you hear a smoke alarm, tell an adult right away or follow your family’s escape plan.

Take a few minutes to talk through these simple safety tips with the children in your home. Practicing fire safety together helps everyone stay prepared and protected.
