Home Fire Safety: What Seniors Need To Know
Americans over the age of 65 are at the greatest risk of dying in a fire. Most seniors who perish each year in fires do not have a working smoke detectors in their homes.
If you are a senior, remember to do the following:
- Have a smoke detectors installed in your home; make sure they are checked monthly.
- Have a licensed electrician examine the wiring in your home; also, have the wiring on your appliances checked.
- Keep space heaters away from combustible materials.
- Never cook in loose-fitting clothing that could catch fire over the stove.
- Avoid smoking inside the house; if you must smoke, do not smoke in bed, around upholstered furniture or near anything that may ignite easily.
- Keep your address and directions to your house next to your phone in case you have to call to report an emergency.
- If fire breaks out put a cloth or towel over your mouth and nose and crawl low on the floor to the nearest exit.
- In case of a fire: get out of the house immediately, call for emergency assistance, and DO NOT GO BACK INTO THE HOUSE FOR ANY REASON.
- Talk to other seniors about starting a fire prevention education group and invite a fire official to a meeting.
