1. Do not plug multiple appliances into a single outlet.
2. If you are caught in an apartment fire touch your door to feel for heat. This will help you determine if you can exit your apartment by exiting through that door.
3. Laying in a relaxed position while you are smoking can put you at risk for falling asleep with a lit cigarette. Make sure your cigarette is completely put out before you dispose of it. Trash fires can start easily from a burning cigarette.
4. Make sure all pots and pans cooking on the stove are faced inward so they cannot be knocked over.
5. Keep space heaters at least 3 feet away from fabrics such as curtains or anything else that is highly flammable. Do not leave the space heater on while you are sleeping or away from your apartment.
