Fires can be devastating to you and your family. Here are some tips for fire safety:

• Install smoke alarms on every level of your home. 
• Make sure to change the batteries of the smoke detectors. 
• Always practice your escape plan with your family, including your pets. 
• If a fire occurs, escape your house as soon as possible and never go back inside for anything or anyone. 
• Don’t leave burning candles unattended. 
• Secure your wires out of sight of your pet, as you do not want them to mistake them for a chew toy. 

According to the American Red Cross, the leading cause of a fire is cooking fires. Always be mindful when you are cooking. You should always stay in the kitchen when you are cooking, such as frying, grilling or broiling food.
