tips to avoid Fire Hazards:
1. Place the nearest phone numbers of the nearest fire station right beside your telephone.
2. Eliminate combustible materials through good housekeeping. Dispose wastes such as papers, rubbish and other materials that can easily be caught by fire.
3. Keep matches out of children’s reach.
4. Oil lamps, gas lamps and candles should be placed away from curtains. Put out the flame before going to bed.
5. Do not keep flammable materials like gasoline, alcohol and paint inside the house.
6. Regularly check your electrical installations and have all frayed wiring and electrical fixtures changed or repaired by a licensed electrician.
7. Do not overload electrical circuits by plugging additional lights and electrical appliances.
8. Blown fuses should not be replaced with wires or any metal.
9. Never leave a lit cigarette or cigar on pipe unattended. It may fall on flammable materials that could start a fire. Easily combustible household items are clothes, curtains, furniture, appliances as well as items that are made by paper, wood, plastic and rubber.
