National Fire Prevention Week is Oct. 7 through Oct. 13, and the Office of Georgia Insurance and Fire Safety Commissioner Ralph Hudgens is reminding Georgians to “have two ways out!”

Fire prevention tips offered by Hudgens include:

• Install working smoke alarms on every level, and inside and outside of each sleeping area;

• Develop a fire escape plan that identifies two ways out of each room, and a family meeting place outside;

• Make sure your plan allows for any specific needs in your household. If everyone knows what to do, everyone can get out quickly;

• Practice using the plan, at least twice a year.

• In the case of a fire, don’t waste time collecting belongings. Get yourself out and help get others out.
