Teach your children that if their clothes catch fire they should stop, drop, and roll. Stop immediately, drop to the ground, and cover your face with your hands. Roll over and over or back and forth until the fire is out. #StopDropRoll #KidsFireSafety #FireSafetyTip

Careless smoking is a leading cause of fatal fires. Use large, deep ashtrays that can't be tipped over & make sure all cigarettes are fully extinguished. Better yet, ask smokers to use a designated area outside. #FireSafety

Never smoke in bed. Mattresses and bedding can catch on fire easily. Do not smoke in bed because you might fall asleep with a lit cigarette. #SmokingFireSafety #FirePrevention #FireSafetyTips #BeSafe

When you enter a building, take a look around for all available exits. Exits may be in front or in back of you as you shop & the closest exit may not be the way you came in. #FireSafety
