Fires create tragedies every day. Educating yourself about fires, and being aware of the different methods of fire prevention will be the only way to protect yourself. In case of emergencies, you'll be able to mitigate harm to your family and home. Granted, some accidents can not be prevented, but knowing exactly how to deal with potential dangers will help you handle situations with as much control as possible. Here are a few tips for you and your family to follow:

• Make sure every family member knows what to do in case of fire.
• Test windows and doors to see if they open easily.
• Choose a meeting place.
• Sleep with bedroom doors closed, to block fire.
• Be sure everyone knows how to sound an alarm, even if it is just yelling "Fire!"
• Make sure everyone knows to get out of the house immediately, rather than collect valuables or pets.
• Know how to use a fire extinguisher.

Another suggestion is to be sure to educate your children on how to call 911. Practicing calling 911, and planning what to say can help your child be more confident if the need ever arises. Preparing your family for an emergency situation is the only way they will know what to do, and these tips might be the thing that save you, or someone in your family.
