Fire Prevention Week Tip Stay Fire SafeThe National Fire Protection Association sponsors Fire Prevention Week each year. Today's fire safety tip is about being ready in case of a fire emergency. Minnesota fire departments responded last year to more than 250,000 emergency calls. Fire experts say families may have as little as two to three minutes to escape a house fire. That means seconds can literally save lives. Here are some NFPA tips to stay fire safe:- Pay attention in the kitchen. If you leave the kitchen, turn off the stove. Kitchen fires are the top fires in the home. - Keep anything combustible at least three feet from space heaters, wood stoves or fireplaces. - Practice your family escape plan and make sure everyone knows where to meet following a fire. - Have working smoke alarms in your home. Test them monthly, change the batteries twice a year.- Keep candles away from combustibles and never leave candles unattended.
