When we think of fires, we mostly think of the damage caused by the flames. However, the heat and smoke can be more dangerous than the actual flames.

Fire produces poisonous gasses that can make you dizzy and sleepy. So if you are asleep when a fire starts, the gasses can put you into a deeper sleep.

Fire Tips:
1. Make sure that you have fire alarms, and regularly check to be sure they are working.
2. Make sure that you have alarms on each floor, and outside each bedroom.
3. Create a family evacuation plan, and practice it.
