In Case of Emergency

Electric Appliance Safety

FiresFire Alarm

  • Be sure smoke alarms are installed throughout your home.
  • If your smoke alarms run on batteries, check batteries annually.
  • Keep fire extinguishers in your home. Be sure to keep an extinguisher in risk areas such as the kitchen and workshop, and know how to use it.
  • Know what to do in case of a grease or electric fire. Use baking soda, or if a pan is on fire, smother the flames with a lid. Never use water to put out a fire on your stove.

 

 

Downed Power LinesDowned Power Lines

  • Warn your family members, especially children, never to touch wires lying on the ground or hanging from poles. Downed wires still may be carrying current.
