If a fire starts in your home, do not try to put it out; leave it to the fire fighters.

The first and most important thing to do is ensure everyone gets out of the building. Close the door to your unit as you leave but don't lock it. Once safely away from the fire, call the fire department.

Have an emergency escape plan, so you and your family know what to do if a fire starts.

The three most common causes of a fire are: careless smoking, unattended cooking on the stove and children playing with matches or lighters.

Please take special precautions to prevent any fire from starting in your home.

• Keep furnace and water heater areas clear of boxes, clothing, debris or any type of clutter
• Do not store oily rags
• Do not use gasoline or solvents inside your home
• Do not leave cooking unattended
• Do not leave lit candles unattended
