Ooooh.... Never thought of that one. Thanks.


While we all worry about things like fire - remember that most occur while sleeping when we are not aware of what is going on till it is out of control. When cooking in the kitchen know where the children are. Know the windows from the outside of your home so you can say to a fireman - the child is in that room and point to the right window - remember it will be reversed from outside.

Simply being aware of what your options are and how you will adjust according to where the fire is should be part of the plan. For example having a fire extinguisher is for clearing an exit path out of the home not fighting a small fire. Fire safety is an area where we can get ourselves into a frenzy over as we don't deal well with the unexpected.
Thank you for these tips.
