Huff PostPhoenixGraphicsDecal on Etsy, Amazon A fire alert sticker, a fireproof box, and a fire extinguisher are all useful to have. This is certainly the case for home fires, according to Michael Kozo, New York City Fire Department captain and commanding officer of the FDNY’s Fire Safety Education Unit. Home fire safety “isn’t as simple as having a ‘go bag,’” Kozo told HuffPost. Then you practice it.” Per Kozo, the number one way to be prepared for a home fire is to have working, regularly tested smoke alarms in every room of your house. Jon Heggie, battalion chief at the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection defines home wildfire preparedness as “having all the things readily available if you are asked to evacuate.” While this can mean an already packed to-go bag containing things like extra clothes, food, water and medication, Heggie says it’s also helpful to just keep a running list of where your important documents and sentimental items are around the house.
