If you are concerned about fire safety this winter, complete this simple checklist to ensure you have a safe holiday season.

Winter Fire Safety Checklist

Each year an estimated 2,655 deaths and 13,025 injuries occur as the result of residential building fires.  The risk of death or injury from fire is even greater for people with physical, mental, or sensory disabilities.  Declining mobility, health, sight, and hearing may limit a person’s ability to take the quick action necessary to escape during a fire emergency.

If you have a disability, you can increase your chances of surviving a fire by taking safety precautions such as making and practicing a home fire escape plan relevant to your needs and ensuring that working smoke alarms are installed on every level of the home.
