Push the test button to ensure each alarm works at least once a month.<\/li>\n<li>Choose the right alarm for the right location in every room and on each level i.e. heat alarm for kitchens and smoke alarms in hallways and bedrooms.<\/li>\n<li>Create a fire escape plan and include every room in your house. Talk about your plan with everyone in your home.<\/li>\n<li>Locate two ways out of each room in your home and make sure everyone knows them.<\/li>\n<li>Pick a meeting place outside. It should be in front of your home. Everyone will meet at the meeting place.<\/li>\n<li>Make sure everyone in your home knows how to dial 999.<\/li>\n<li>Practice your home fire drill at least monthly and in the daytime and at night.<\/li>\n<li>For those most vulnerable in your home, have a plan for a specific person to help them escape.<\/li>\n<li>Don\u2019t hide if there is a fire, as this will make it much harder for parents (or firefighters) to find and help you. When you hear beeps that last, you need to get out fast and stay out.<\/li>\n<li>Before you open a door, check if it\u2019s warm with the back of your hand. If it is, don\u2019t open it \u2013 there may be a fire on the other side. If there\u2019s smoke, get down low.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thesun.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/female-hands-opening-smoke-detector-802052013.jpg\"><br \/>\nSource: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thesun.co.uk\/news\/25099070\/fears-half-parents-children-fire-alarms-installed\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>JUST half of parents with children aged three to ten have fire alarms installed in their home, research has revealed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":189943,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.8 -
