Fires in the kitchen are the leading cause of house fires in NSW. The cause is almost always the same. Unattended cooking.
If you have to leave the kitchen, turn the stove off. A hot pan only needs a minute.
Cold dinner beats a house fire.

You won't have time to think it through when smoke is filling the hallway.
Walk through your home and find two ways out of every room. Pick a safe meeting place outside. Practise it with everyone you live with, kids included.
Plan it now, while it's still just a plan.

A smoke alarm that doesn't work is just a plastic disc on the ceiling.
Test yours every month. If it doesn't beep, replace the battery. If it's older than 10 years, replace the alarm.

Smoke alarms, unlike wine, do not age well over time.
Did you know that most smoke alarms have a use-by date? Some modern smoke alarms have a life-span of up to ten years and may not have a battery to change, making it easy to forget how long since they’ve been installed.
Remember to regularly clean and test your alarms, and check the use-by date to help keep track of their age. If your alarm looks like B,C.D,E or F, Use this weekend to check in with your smoke alarms.
