Whether your family member lives in his or
her own home or lives with you, fire safety and prevention are
important areas to address.
As people age, they are more at risk from
fire due to decreased mobility or loss of hearing, smell or sight.
People over 65 are twice as likely to die in a home fire than the
general population.
This program teaches about fire risks and helps you to create the
most fire-proof home environment possible. Smoke alarms, electrical
safety, appliance safety, flammable liquids, propane, natural gas and
escape plans are some topics covered.
