Safety Checklist
  Safety First
  • Is your home protected by at least one Smoke Detector? 
  • Do you test your detector at least once a month and change the battery each year? 
  • Does your family have an Escape Plan for your home? Have two ways out of every room in case flames or smoke block one way. 
  • Do you have a meeting place outside where your family will gather after they escape? 
  • Does everyone in your family know how to call the Fire Department? 
  • Is your home fire safe? Eliminate combustibles that could fuel a fire. Avoid using extension cords for permanent wiring. Never leave the kitchen unattended while cooking. 
  • If you have a pool, is it surrounded completely by a barrier fence with self-closing and self-latching gates? 
  • Do you and other members of your family know CPR?
  • Have you contacted the West Covina Fire Department for additional program information?
