According to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nfpa.org\/\">National Fire Protection Association (NFPA),<\/a> families, seniors and caregivers need to learn about household fires and how they typically start. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000\">Damage from home fires is devastating, and the costs are staggering. Over 3,000 deaths and 14,000 injuries in a year are hard to fathom, but fire is powerful and destructive. Still, there are ways to lessen the risk of fire.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"color: #2b285f;text-align: left\"><strong><span style=\"color: #000000\">12 Fire Safety Tips for Seniors and Caregivers:<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n<h3 style=\"padding-left: 40px\"><strong><span style=\"color: #000000\">Tip #1. Smoke Alarms:<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px\"><span style=\"color: #000000\">Install smoke alarms around the home, on each floor, inside, and around all bedrooms.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"padding-left: 40px\"><strong><span style=\"color: #000000\">Tip #2. Test Smoke Alarms:<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px\"><span style=\"color: #000000\">Test home smoke alarms at least once per month. Replace batteries at least once a year.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"padding-left: 40px\"><strong><span style=\"color: #000000\">Tip #3. Replace Smoke Alarms:<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px\"><span style=\"color: #000000\">Discard and replace smoke alarms over 10 years old.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"padding-left: 40px\"><strong><span style=\"color: #000000\">Tip #4. Don&#8217;t Leave Cooking Unattended:<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px\"><span style=\"color: #000000\">Stay in the kitchen when cooking, especially if frying, grilling, or broiling food.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"padding-left: 40px\"><strong><span style=\"color: #000000\">Tip #5. Fire Extinguisher:<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px\"><span style=\"color: #000000\">Keep a fire extinguisher easily available in the kitchen.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"padding-left: 40px\"><strong><span style=\"color: #000000\">Tip #6. Burning Candles:<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px\"><span style=\"color: #000000\">Never leave burning candles unattended. Just blow them out when leaving a room or preparing for sleep.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"padding-left: 40px\"><strong><span style=\"color: #000000\">Tip #7. Out of Reach:<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px\"><span style=\"color: #000000\">Hide the matches and lighters to keep them out of the reach of children.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"padding-left: 40px\"><strong><span style=\"color: #000000\">Tip #8. Inspect Environment:<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px\"><span style=\"color: #000000\">Inspect and replace any cracked or damaged electrical cords.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"padding-left: 40px\"><strong><span style=\"color: #000000\">Tip #9. Space Heaters:<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px\"><span style=\"color: #000000\">Keep all heaters (fixed or portable) away from furniture, clothing, curtains, bedding, etc. There should be at least three feet of space beyond the heaters. Turn them off before going to bed.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"padding-left: 40px\"><strong><span style=\"color: #000000\">Tip #10. Smoke Outside:<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px\"><span style=\"color: #000000\">Ask your smoking family or friends to go outside when they smoke. Provide sturdy, deep ashtrays.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"padding-left: 40px\"><strong><span style=\"color: #000000\">Tip #11. Escape Plan:<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px\"><span style=\"color: #000000\">Create an organized fire escape plan and practice it at least twice a year. Consider any special needs or handicaps, as well.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"padding-left: 40px\"><strong><span style=\"color: #000000\">Tip #12. Call for Help:<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px\"><span style=\"color: #000000\">If a fire breaks out, get out first. Call for help from outside the home or building.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000\">Often, home fires can be prevented.
