⚪Where the outdoor meeting place(Muster Point)is located.
🔹The fire department or emergency phone number.
⚪How to unlock all doors and windows. Incase of fire outbreaks.

🔸Keeps your child at least 3 feet away from the microwave oven.
🔹Never leaves the room while cooking.
⚫Keeps anything that can catch fire away from the stovetop.

🔹Get low and go under the smoke to the exit if an escape must be made through smoke.
⚫Store matches and lighters out of your child’s reach.
🔹Candles should not be used by your babysitter. Make sure your babysitter keeps a 3-foot “kid-free zone” around space heaters.
