Alcohol, Cigarettes And Fire
Many fire deaths are caused by people attempting to cook or smoke while under the influence of alcohol. Don't put yourself — or your family — at risk of fire.
Alcohol and fire are a dangerous mix.
- Make sure the stove is off before going to bed.
- Take care to confirm that all cigarettes are properly extinguished and disposed of. Cigarettes can smoulder among upholstery cushions for hours before igniting. Check sofas and chairs for cigarettes that may have fallen between the cushions.
- Never smoke in bed or while under the influence of medication which may cause drowsiness.
- Test smoke alarms every month and replace the batteries when you change your clocks to daylight savings time.
