It's especially important to have your smoke alarms properly installed and to have an Escape Plan established with your family.  Use these tips and directions to stay as safe as possible in your sleeping areas.

Arm Yourself Properly in Sleeping Areas

  • Keep bedrooms and other sleeping areas safe by installing smoke alarms outside each sleeping area, or inside each bedroom if you sleep with doors closed. As well, install a carbon monoxide (CO) alarm outside the master bedroom.

  • If your home has more than one storey, and especially if you sleep on the second or higher floor, keep a fire escape ladder either under the bed or in a linen closet near a window.

What To Do In Case Of Fire

  • Yell to alert others at home with you and execute your Escape Plan as practiced.  

  • Evacuate the home as quickly as possible and call 911 to call for help.
