Fire Safety

Fires can happen suddenly in our homes and become life-threatening in minutes. The first concern is always the safety of you and your family. If you cannot quickly and safely extinguish the fire, get out of the house and call 911.

For your main home protection, it’s suggested to install a Class A-B-C fire extinguisher (2-A: 10-B:C rated). Make sure it’s easy to see and access. When using, keep your back to a clear way out of the house in case the fire gets out of control.

To operate a fire extinguisher, remember P A S S

  • Pull the pin.
  • Aim low at the base of the fire.
  • Squeeze the lever slowly and evenly.
  • Sweep the nozzle from side to side.
