People with Disabilities
It is extremely important to plan for those who may need assistance during a fire or other emergency.
Read Home Safety for People with Disabilities for recommendations on how to be prepared for a fire emergency.
Older Adults
Knowing what to do in the event of a fire is particularly important for older adults. At age 65, people are twice as likely to be killed or injured by fires in the home.
Visit the National Fire Preveniton website on Medical Oxygen Fire Safety to learn more about how to prevent a medical oxygen-related fire.

Know Someone Who Needs Assistance?
