 FIRE SAFETY CHECKLIST FOR STUDENTS
1. 	
Make sure your sleeping room has working smoke detectors.
3. 	
Have food on hand that doesn’t require cooking.  Cooking when you’ve had 
       	
too much to drink increases the chance you’ll make a mistake or start a fire. 
2. 	
Plan to survive … know two ways out from your room.
4. 	 Buy flameless candles.  They come in all sizes, colors and scents. 
5. 	
Make sure you know and practice a fire escape plan.
6. 	 Talk with your roommates and determine a safe place to meet outside in case 
       	
of a fire.
7. 	
Clear exits/hallways/stairs. In case of a fire, you’ll need to leave quickly.
8. 	 Clean the dryer lint trap before and after each use.  Help keep dryers safe.
9. 	 Leave quickly when the fire/smoke alarm sounds. Spending time 	
	
retrieving items increases your chances of being trapped. Leave 	 	
	
everything and GO.
10.	 Friends keep friends safe from fire-related hazards. 
	
Share this checklist … pass fire safety tips along to friends!
