Fire Safety Tips - All rental properties shall be equipped with
a smoke detector in every room used for sleeping (OCO Section
PM-308.1). - Install smoke detectors on every level of your
home, including the basement, and outside each sleeping area. -
Test detectors every month, following the manufacturer's
directions, and replace batteries once a year, or whenever a
detector "chirps" to signal low battery power. - Never "borrow"
a smoke detector's battery for another use—a disabled detector
can't save your life. - Replace detectors that are more than 10
years old. Smoking and Safety - Careless smoking is the leading
cause of fire deaths in North America. - Smoking in bed or when
you are drowsy could be deadly. - Provide smokers with large,
deep non-tip ashtrays and soak butts with water before
discarding them. - Before going to bed or leaving home after
someone has been smoking, check under and around cushions and
upholstered furniture for smoldering cigarettes. - Never leave
cooking unattended. - Keep cooking
