Fire Help

When there is a fire, everything becomes very chaotic in a short amount of time.  Here are some basic guidelines on what to do if a fire happens in your home or at your business.  Fires caused by electrical issues are the most common at this time.

Make sure that there is always clear and unobstructed pathway to the exit in case of fire.  Make sure your electrical cords are in good condition before you use them.  Make sure you don not overload electrical outlets.  

If you hear a fire alarm, always treat that as if there is a real fire.  If there is smoke in the air, stay low to the ground so you do not inhale smoke.  Crawl to the nearest exit with your hand along the wall so you do not become disorientated.  Once you are away from the fire and in a safe location, call emergency personnel.
