Fire Safety

Fire safety is a very important thing to be aware of, and everyone should know the basic safety procedures to prepare for a possible fire and what to do if a fire occurs. 

Preparing for Home Fires

1. Install smoke alarms on every level of your home.
2. Test smoke alarms every month to make sure they are working properly.
3. Plan and discuss a fire escape plan with your family. 

During a Fire

1. Escape immediately using the best route.
2. If a door handle or door feels warm, do not open it and get out of the home using a different route.
3. Once you are out to the building call 911.
4. Never go back inside for anything.
5. If your clothes catch on fire: STOP, DROP, and ROLL!
6. If you're stuck inside the house, cover any area where smoke might get in and find a way to signal help that you are still in the house. Do this by either calling 911 and telling them, or find a flashlight or phone light and hold it up to a window.

These are just a few of the basic rules in dealing with home fires. If you experience a home fire, SERVPRO of West Greenville County is here to make this hard situation much more bearable.
