Fire extinguishers are often the first line of defense when it comes to fighting fires.  Everyone should have at least one fire extinguisher at home…

Do: Have an escape route. Have an exit behind you before attempting to extinguish a fire. Stand several feet away from the fire and only move closer when the fire starts to diminish.

Pull together everyone in your household and make a plan. Walk through your home and inspect all possible exits and escape routes. Households with children should consider drawing a floor plan of your home, marking two ways out of each room, including windows and doors.
