Every year, preventable fires affect students. While there are several causes for these fires, (i.e. cigarettes, candles, cooking, space heaters, etc.) you need to be prepared in the event of fire:
Review the Fire Safety Awareness Campaign Knowfire
Use electricity wisely: Toasters, coffeemakers and microwaves should be plugged directly into an outlet. Review electrical safety guidelines.
Clear the clutter: Keep things that burn away from heat sources like stovetops, space heaters and electronic equipment.
Have working smoke alarms: it's the law. Your room or apartment must have working smoke alarms. Test them monthly and notify the landlord immediately if they are not working.
Plan an escape: Have an escape plan. Know two ways out of your room or apartment in case of fire.
Be equipped: To stay safe, put together a kit that includes a smoke alarm and carbon monoxide alarm, a battery powered lantern or flashlight, a radio, extra batteries and an approved power bar.
