Living Room and Bedroom Safety Guidelines
To identify and correct potential fire hazards in your living room and bedrooms, make sure to:

• Maintain good working condition of all doors and windows.
• Keep at least one smoke detector on every level of your home and inside or near all sleeping areas.
• Place space heaters at least three feet away from anything that can burn. This includes:
  • Furniture
  • Drapes
  • Walls
• Allow sufficient air space around TVs and stereos so they do not overheat.
• Work on having not too small or full ashtrays. Ashtrays need to be large, deep, and emptied often.
• Keep your fireplace in good working condition. Make sure to have a spark screen that is sturdy and clean your chimney periodically.
• Clear all exits in your home. Do not block by stored items or furniture.
