Have your chimney cleaned at least once a year by a professional chimney sweep.

Change your batteries in you smoke detector twice a year.  Remember "Change your clocks, change your batteries."

Leave the house then call "911" from a safe place.

Check every closed door for heat before opening.

"Stay low and go" crawl while exiting the house if smoke is visible.

Have an escape plan, and a safe meeting place away from the house.
