Close Before You Doze.
Sleeping with your bedroom door closed could save your life during a fire.
You know how important it is to have working smoke alarms, escape plans, and a designated meeting place in case of a fire. But did you know that closing your doors in your home is also important for your safety? Closed doors can reduce fire growth, limit damage to your home, keep temperatures down, and can even save your life if you become trapped.
Fire is getting faster!
Because of synthetic materials, furniture, and construction, fire spreads faster than ever before. You had 17 minutes to escape a fire 40 years ago – now it is only 3. Closing doors helps stop the spread of fire.
