Enjoy the Summer - Fire Safety Tips for Travel


Nothing says "summer" like a road trip or vacation , but these fun activities also present a number of safety hazards. According to a report from the US fire Administration, summer is one of the most dangerous seasons for fire-related injuries and deaths. Fortunately, there are plenty of ways to protect yourself and your loved ones while still having a great time. By knowing and practicing summer fire safety tips, you can enjoy many wonderful times filled with laughter, happiness and safety.
 
Choose a Fire-Safe Motel or Hotel

When staying at a motel or hotel, choose one that has a fire sprinkler system and smoke alarms. Ask at the front desk clerk about the fire notification system and what the fire alarm sounds like. Review the fire escape plan posted in the room. Read the checklist for hotel fire safety before you settle in for the night.
Identify the Exits

Whether you're in a hotel or a restaurant or a museum, always make sure you are familiar with where the closest exits are located. This will be very important if a fire breaks out.
Don't Throw Lit Cigarettes out of the Car

Never throw a lit cigarette, match, or cigar out of a car window or onto the ground. It could ignite dry vegetation or even in rare circumstances, ignite fumes from your vehicle.
