The text advocates common sense fire prevention at home and work, urging people to welcome firefighters for a hazard check and to keep doors closed to slow fire spread. It notes three quarters of fires occur at home and lists basic hazards like over-fusing and frayed wiring, urging self checks or an appointment with the fire chief.
The guidance urges sitters to be responsible and local, provide contact details and a fire department number, keep a flashlight, and evacuate children immediately during a fire. Do not re-enter the building, ensure you state location when calling for help, and consider turning on front lights to attract attention. The piece notes the high toll of fire deaths, especially among children and the elderly.
