Be sure to have working smoke alarms in your home:
- Test all smoke alarms in your home monthly.
- Change batteries twice a year -- changing batteries on daylight savings is an easy way to remember.
- Replace smoke alarm units every ten years.
- Smoke alarms should be placed in all bedrooms, hallways outside living areas, and common areas.
| For fire extinguisher operation, remember PASS:
- P - Pull the pin. Pull out the pin that sits in the handle, allowing you to squeeze.
- A - Aim the nozzle. Aim the black nozzle or hose at the base of the fire.
- S - Squeeze. Squeeze down on the handle to extract the extinguishing material.
- S - Sweep. Sweep the nozzle side-to-side across the entirety of the fire.
- Fire extinguishers should be placed on each level of your home, along with one in the garage, where they can be easily accessible.

Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) on unresponsive persons: - Shake and shout: make sure the person is unconscious without a pulse. Call 9-1-1.
- If necessary, lay person flat onto floor -- off of beds or chairs.
- Place hands in the center of the chest, one palm on top of the other hand.
- Push hard and fast continuously, about two compressions per second.
- Do not stop compressions until medical help arrives, or unless the person regains a pulse or starts breathing on their own.
| Be ready for all of North Texas' extremes: - Be informed. Know the types of hazards the North Texas area can experience - thunderstorms, tornadoes, winter storms, and home fires are the most common.
- Get a kit. Create an emergency kit that has essential items you and your family would need in case of extended sheltering or evacuation.
- Make a plan. Know what to do when an emergency happens and how to get important information.
