There are time-tested ways to prevent and survive a fire. Some require advanced planning.

Prevent Electrical Fires

• Never overload circuits or extension cords.
• Do not place cords and wires under rugs, over nails, or in high-traffic areas.
• Immediately shut off and unplug appliances that sputter, spark, or emit an unusual smell. Have them repaired or replaced.
