•Eliminate fire hazards through good housekeeping. Dispose waste papers, rubbish, and other flammable materials regularly.
•Keep matches out of children’s reach.
•Oil or gas lamps and candles should be placed away from curtains. Put out the flame before going to bed.
•Do not keep flammable materials like gasoline, alcohol, and paint inside the house.
•Regularly check your electrical installations, and have frayed wirings and electrical fixtures changed or repaired by a licensed electrician.
•Do not overload electrical circuits by plugging additional lights and electrical appliances.
•Blown fuses should not be replaced with wires or any metal.
•Never leave a lit cigarette/cigar/pipe unattended-it may fall on flammable materials which could start a fire.
•Always have a handy First-Aid Kit in the house.
