Fire Safety Tip I

There are complex steps to learn, skills to acquire and a lot of detailed information that can equip us to increase safety. There are also very simple things we can do — and often simple preventions stop dangerous situations before they get out of control.

The Defywire movie tip Fire Safety I (click here to see it under February 5, 2007) describes one of the simplest and most powerful ways to keep a family, school or workplace safe: install smoke detectors and maintain them to be sure they are working. As the movie explains, experts say you should install a smoke detector on every level of your home, including the basement. Check your smoke detectors’ batteries at least once a year, for example when you change your clocks for Daylight Savings Time.
