Fire Safety in Eastpointe, MI

• Stay in the kitchen when you are using the stove. If you leave the room, turn off the stove.
• Keep anything that can burn at least three feet away from space heaters. Turn off heaters when you leave the room or go to sleep.
• Ask smokers to smoke outside. Have safe ashtrays for smokers and don’t dump the ashtray into a trash can until any embers are completely out.
• Keep matches and lighters safely out of the reach of children.
• Check electrical cords for any damage and replace them if necessary.
• Keep candles several feet away from anything that can burn. Blow candles out when you leave the room or go to sleep.
• Make a home fire escape plan and practice it at least twice a year.
• Test smoke alarms at least once a month and replace batteries at least once a year. Replace any smoke alarm that is more than 10 years old.
• If you are building or remodeling your home, install residential fire sprinklers. Sprinklers can contain and may even extinguish a fire in less time than it would take the fire department to arrive.
