> step away from the stove, turn it off. Wear tight-fitting clothing when
> cooking over an open flame, and keep towels and potholders away from the
> flame. If food or grease catches fire, smother the flames by sliding a lid

> broken electrical cords. Never use an appliance with exposed wires. Never
> overload extension cords, and keep them out of traffic areas. Use only
> appliances evaluated by a nationally recognized laboratory such as
> Underwriters Laboratories.

> 3.) Smoking: Never smoke in bed. Make sure that you are alert when you
> smoke. If a gas stove or oxygen source is nearby, do not smoke. Have someone
> post signs stating that oxygen is in use and warning visitors to refrain
> from smoking. Do not smoke while under the influence of alcohol or if you

> leave smoking materials unattended, and collect them in large, deep
> ashtrays. Check around furniture, especially upholstered furniture, for any
> discarded or smoldering smoking materials. Before discarding them, soak the
> materials in the ashtray.
> 
> 4.) Space heaters: Give space heaters plenty of space. Keep heaters at least
> 3 feet from any combustible material, including people. Follow the
> manufacturers' directions regarding operation, fueling, and maintenance of
> your space heater. Do not use heaters or other heating devices to dry
> clothing.
> 
> 5.) Heating: Have your heating systems and chimneys checked and cleaned
> annually by a professional. Never store fuel for heating equipment in the
> home. Keep fuel outside or in a detached storage area or shed.

>

> to the presence of deadly smoke while there is still time to escape. Place

> the fire department to assist you. Clean smoke alarms by vacuuming them

> alarms to alert you to the presence of a fire. If your smoke alarms are
> hardwired (connected to the electric circuitry of your residence), make sure
