Smoke Alarms: Install smoke alarms inside each bedroom and on every floor of your home. Regularly test them and change the batteries at least once a year.

Fire Extinguishers: Have fire extinguishers in key locations like the kitchen, garage, and near fireplaces. Learn how to use them, and ensure they're regularly inspected.

Electrical Safety: Check for frayed wires and overloaded outlets. Don't overload circuits, and replace damaged cords or plugs promptly.

Cooking Safety: remain in the kitchen while cooking and keep flammable materials away from stovetops. Install a kitchen fire suppression system if possible.

Heating Precautions: Maintain heating equipment, such as furnaces and space heaters, and keep flammable objects at least three feet away from heat sources.

Candle and Smoking Safety: Always extinguish candles before leaving a room and designate smoking areas outside the house.

Escape Plan: Develop a family fire escape plan with designated meeting points and practice it regularly.

Home Insurance: Review your homeowner's insurance policy to ensure it provides adequate coverage in case of fire-related damage.
