Never go back inside for pets in a fire - tell firefighters if your pet is trapped. And plan ahead with these helpful tips.
Pets are curious. They may bump into, turn on, or knock over cooking equipment. Keep pets away from stoves and countertops.
Keep pets away from candles, lamps, and space heaters.
Always use a metal or heat-tempered glass screen on a fireplace and keep it in place.
Keep pets away from a chimney’s outside vents. Have a “pet-free zone” of at least 3 feet (1 meter) away from the fireplace. Glass doors and screens can stay dangerously hot for several hours after the fire goes out.
Consider battery-operated, flameless candles. They can look and smell like real candles.
Some pets are chewers. Watch pets to make sure they don’t chew through electrical cords. Have any problems checked by a professional.
Have working smoke alarms on every level of the home. Test your smoke alarms at least once a month.
If the smoke alarm sounds, get out and stay out
