- In the case of most home or business fires, residents and persons inside the building have an average of two minutes to escape before their situation becomes deadly. This means that the best way to remain safe is to prepare for a fire before one ever starts.
- The two most acknowledged ways to prepare for a possible fire that are proven to have the best results are the installation of smoke detectors and the creation of a fire escape plan. In the last decade, more than half of the home fires that have resulted in fatalities happened in dwellings without working fire detectors or smoke alarms.
- Smoke detectors are not devices that can be installed and then forgotten. As most require batteries, those power sources need to be checked and replaced. Many fire chiefs suggest changing the batteries in all smoke detectors twice per year. If a homeowner times this with the daylight savings time change, they are less likely to forget.
- Having a fire escape plan is crucial to the safety and security of anyone who resides in a building. It does not matter if the building is used for office or residential purposes. Kamran Malek strives to ensure fire safety in Alabama.
