Safty Tip For All

firstdown · 02-08-2010, 05:48 PM

I was just reading that on average 3,600 people lose their life to fire each year. In 79% of those deaths the home did not have a SMOKE ALARM or it was not working. So if you don't have smoke alarms go out and buy some and if you have them give them a test to make sure they work. You should always have one in each bed room and if you have children its even more important. Smoke alarms do save lives.

Nice post . Something many forget , a small fire extinguisher is also a lifesaver . If you have kids , do fire drills with them < where to go in case of fire-smoke > , just in case mom or dad can't get to them quickly .

Seriously firstdown, how do you graduate from high school and still misspell "safety"?

Now we know... and knowing is half the battle.

Seriously though, good call.

Leaving out the second vowel on nouns prevents forest fires. Just sayin'.

We could...but it's more fun to just laugh at your endless spelling mistakes

Good advice by the way

We are in the same boat, I hate spelling. I just got called in for my review and of course grammar was on there like it is every year. Really don't care since I mainly work with numbers.
