With much cooler mornings and evenings, a lot of people are turning to electrical, gas or wood to heat their homes.
Remember to check the following:
Smoke alarms - Did you know that you will not smell smoke while asleep?
Only working smoke alarms save lives
Escape plans- Having a home escape plan in conjunction with a working smoke alarm will greatly increase your chances of getting out safely. Every second counts.
Test that your smoke alarm/s are working. If not, change the batteries or replace the alarm.
Check the smoke alarm is in date. Smoke alarms have a lifespan of ten years.
Give the smoke alarm a vacuum, if you haven’t done so in the last six months, to remove dust and any insects.
To meet legislation you must have at least one working smoke alarm on each level of the home placed between bedrooms and living areas, it’s the law. FRNSW also recommends having one in each bedroom.
If there is a fire in your home, do not wait, every second counts, get out and stay out and then call Triple Zero (000). Never go back inside a burning building.
Draw your escape plan, and discuss it with your whole family. Download your grid here: fire.nsw.gov.au/escapeplan.
Know and record two safe ways out of every room. Make sure that your windows and doors are not obstructed and can be unlocked and opened quickly if necessary.
Practise your escape plan regularly with the whole household including pets. Your letter box is a great place to wait for firefighters arrival.
As you escape make sure you close internal doors behind you. This can reduce fire spread and minimise damage.
