Did you
know?
Contrary
to popular belief, the smell of smoke will not awaken
you. As a matter of fact, the poisonous gases
actually put you into a deeper sleep. Since the
majority of fatal fires happen at night, it is essential
to have a working smoke detector in your home to awaken
you in a fire emergency.
No matter
how careful you are, all fire authorities agree that it
is not possible to prevent all fires. However,
there are ways that you can lesson the danger and
provide the most precautions possible, beginning with
these three basic rules: Don't overload your
electrical circuits. Keep combustibles far from
heat sources and keep matches and lighters out of the
reach of children. |
