Did you know 42% of house fires start in the kitchen and 3 out of 5 home fire deaths resulted from faulty smoke alarms. Only 43% of homeowners have an escape plan and only 40% of homeowners test their smoke and CO alarms monthly.

Fire Prevention Month is the perfect time to talk with your whole family about fire safety – including testing alarms, changing the batteries, making sure there is a fire extinguisher on every floor as well as in the garage and kitchen, and practicing an escape plan.
