How college students can stay safe from fire

Описание: If you’re moving into an apartment or dorm for the first time, be sure to follow these fire safety tips to stay safe. https://www.tdi.texas.gov/blog/stay-s...

What are some common causes of fires?

Cooking, smoking, and candles. It’s easy to get distracted when you’re cooking. But it’s a common cause of fires. Keep an eye on the stove and try not to leave the kitchen when you’re cooking.

The advice is similar for cigarettes and candles. Don’t leave them lit when you’re not in the room and when you go to sleep.

What should you do if you hear a fire alarm?

Leave your dorm or apartment right away when you hear a fire alarm. Every second counts when a fire breaks out. Don’t assume alarms are false alarms; take them seriously.

What are some other fire safety tips to keep college students safe?

· Know where all the exits are in a room or building. This is a good tip for anywhere you go: classrooms, restaurants, friends’ apartments.
· Don’t overload outlets or power strips. And don’t connect a power strip to another power strip.
