Video Script

Hi, I’m Randall, and today I’d like to talk about home and fire safety.

And first of all, in our home, we have installed these small ladders, right down here, and you can see the bedroom window. And we’ve installed those just in case you can’t get out of your front door.

Number two: Make sure that you have at least one good fire extinguisher and you know how to use it.

Number three: Make sure you have installed fire and smoke detectors in your home and change those batteries once a year.

And finally, instead of trying to put out a big fire yourself, call your emergency number and get out.
