GENERAL
FIRE SAFETY We urge you to conduct a
family meeting and discuss the do’s and don’ts in the event of
fire. We recommend a floor plan is drawn with at least two escape
exits in every room and arrange a safe meeting place, in the event
of a fire. It is a good idea to keep a bell and flashlight in each
bedroom. Authorities recommend sleeping with bedroom doors
closed. This will keep deadly heat and smoke out of bedrooms, giving
you additional time to escape. Find a way for everyone to sound a
family alarm such as yelling, pounding on walls, whistles, etc.
Practice yelling "FIRE!” In a fire, time is critical. Don't waste
time getting dressed, don't search for pets or valuables. Just get
out! Roll out of bed. Stay low. One breath of smoke or gasses may be
enough to kill. Practice evacuating the building blindfolded. In
a real fire situation, the amount of smoke generated by a fire most
likely will make it difficult to see. Practice staying low to the
ground when escaping. Feel all doors before opening them. If a door
is hot, get out another way. Learn to stop, drop to the ground, and
roll if clothes catch fire. Fire can engulf a house in 60
seconds! Make sure you have a safe and quick method of escape!
LAWNS AND GARDENS - You are required to REGULARLY mow the lawn, weed the gardens and trim the edges. You cannot lop or severely prune shrubs without express permission. It is necessary to water gardens and lawns in dry weather to keep plants growing and to prevent them dying.
