Whether at home or at work, you need to be prepared for a fire.  They happen more often than people think, and being prepared can make the difference between a minimal fire, and a larger blaze.  It can also mean the difference between life and death. There are a plethora of ways to prepare for a fire, but there are a few basic steps that everyone can and should take before anything happens.  See how many of these you have done, and work to get the other steps in place.

Smoke Detectors

Make sure that your detectors are in working order.  Change batteries after the recommended period, and routinely check that they are working.

Fire Extinguisher

Having a working extinguisher can really mitigate the potential for a larger fire.  Make sure that they are also in working order.  Make sure that it has not expired yet.

Evacuation Route

If you need to evacuate, make sure that everyone in the family or office knows of two routes to the outside.

Supplies

Pack a supply kit in advance.  This will hold everything that you absolutely need until you are back on your feet.  Medication should absolutely go in these packs.
