If you live in an apartment building, then it’s important to do whatever you can to protect yourself in the event of a fire. Even the safest buildings are vulnerable to fire, so it’s essential that you know what to do if one occurs—and that you have a plan to follow. Here are some fire safety tips that every apartment resident should know. Keep an eye on your smoke alarm. Having a working smoke alarm is a must for every apartment unit. It’s important to change your smoke alarm’s batteries once a year, and it’s also a smart idea to test your alarm every month. If your unit doesn’t also have a carbon monoxide detector, you should install one. In addition, you should have a fire extinguisher in your kitchen, and you should know how to use it. Have an escape route planned. Imagine that you have just learned that a fire has started in your apartment building. How would you get out? It’s important to find the safest and fastest route out of the building. Find the nearest fire exit and calculate how long it would take you to get outside. Practice the escape route a few times so that it will stay fresh in your mind. Make your apartment as safe as possible. Safety starts at home, and apartment units are no exception. Keep your home free of clutter, which can help fires spread quickly. Use a surge protector to reduce the risk of electricity-related fires. Always turn off space heaters when you are not in the room, and never leave a stove or oven unattended while it’s turned on.
