Fire Safety Week is the best time to learn how to keep your home and family safe from fire. Fires can happen very fast. They are scary and hot. But if you have a plan, you can stay safe. This guide will tell you everything you need to know in a simple way.
In India, we call Fire Safety Week the “National Fire Service Week.” We hold it every year to teach schools and workplaces about fire prevention.
This week honors the 66 brave firefighters who died during the 1944 Mumbai Dock explosion. We respect their sacrifice by staying prepared and alert.
Fires are not like the movies. Smoke fills rooms very fast. It gets dark, and it becomes very hard to see or breathe. This is why preparing in advance is essential. If you have a plan, there is no need to be scared.
Keeping your home safe is easy if you follow these three steps:
A smoke alarm is the “nose” of your home. It smells fire before you do.
You may only have two minutes to get out during a fire.
Many fires start from bad wires or overloaded plugs.
A fire extinguisher is a red can used for small fires. To use it, remember PASS:
If you see smoke, do not hide. Hiding makes it hard for firefighters to find you.

You should get a new smoke alarm every 10 years. Even if it still makes a sound when you test it, the inside parts can get old and dusty
Cooking is the top cause. Many fires start because someone forgot they were cooking food on the stove.
No. Do not put lithium-ion batteries in your trash or recycling bin at home. They can get crushed and start a fire in the garbage truck. Take them to a special battery recycling store.
That "chirp" means the battery is low. You must put in a new battery right away so the alarm can keep you safe.
Try to practice your home fire drill two times a year. Practice once during the day and once at night when it is dark.
