TENANT TIP #14  -  PERSONAL FIRE SAFETY

You should have at least one working smoke detector in your unit.  Test it
once a month.

Keep a roll of duct tape and use it to block smoke from entering your unit
through spaces around your door and vents.

If you are unable to use the stairs in an emergency tell your landlord so
that your unit can  be added to the fire safety plan.

Plan at least two escape routes (in case one is blocked by smoke) and
practise using them.

For more information to help you survive  a fire or to have a fire
inspector speak at your Tenants Association meeting, call the Fire
Department at 798-8825.
