If an emergency happens, be prepared with the following items:

Preparedness

  1. Keep a first aid kit in the garage area. Maintain it properly. First aid may make the difference between quick recovery and permanent injury.
  2. Install an alarm on the door that leads from house to garage that signals if a child enters the area.
  3. Mount a fire extinguisher in the garage area. Adults in the home should be trained on how to use it.
  4. Develop a fire escape plan and conduct drills twice annually with all family members.
  5. Install a working smoke alarm in the garage. Test upon installation and every three months.
