Home Fire Inspection CHECKLIST

On this page, you will learn about things you can do to help prevent a fire in your home!
This checklist should be reviewed twice a year!
 

Is your local emergency phone number on your telephone?
   

Can your house number be seen from the street so that emergency vehicles can find you?
   

Do you have a smoke detector in your home? Do you test it monthly? Helpful hint: Change the batteries when you change your clocks- in the spring and fall.
   

Do you practice Operation EDITH (Exit Drills In The Home) at home?
   

Do your parents talk to your babysitters about the family EDITH plan?
   

Is there a fire extinguisher in your home? Does everyone know where it is and how to use it?
   

[Kids playing with matches]Are matches and lighters kept in a safe place away from children?

Do you know that you should never run if your clothes catch on fire and that you should "STOP - DROP - ROLL"?
   
Do you have a screen on your fireplace? Is it closed at all times?
   
Is your yard clear of old tree branches, litter, and weeds?
   
Do you sleep with your bedroom door closed to prevent the spread of fire?
