Menards Reminds Us – June is National Safety Month
Each and every day there is something that we can do to keep our family safe or better prepared..
Menards would like to remind everyone to practice fire safety this month with your family. June is National Safety Month and now is a good time sit down with your children and make sure they know what to do in case of a fire. Plus, take the time to make sure your carbon monoxide detectors and smoke alarms are in working order. Then, if an emergency should happen, you'll be glad you did!
FIRE SAFETY CHECKLIST
Have a plan
Make sure you can get out of every room two different ways
Practice the escape with everyone twice a year
Have a meeting place
Carbon Monoxide Detectors
One on every level of the home
Less than 7 years old
Smoke Alarms
One on every level of the home
One outside every sleeping area
Test the alarms every month
Change the batteries every six months
Make sure they are less than 10 years old
Safety first
Candles should be in a fire proof container, kept clear of kids and pets and blown out by an adult.
Appliances should be in good condition, clear of clutter with safe cords.
o Always stay in the kitchen when frying, grilling or boiling food.
o Dryer lint traps should be cleaned out after every use
If you should need a new carbon monoxide detector or smoke alarm, shop your local Menards for all your home improvements needs.
