When using extension cords it is important  to make sure that there are no breaks or cuts in them. In addition to checking the status of an extension cord, make sure not to plug cords into one another and overload the circuit. 

In addition to making sure that smoke alarms are installed around your home, you should also practice fire drills at home. Practicing fire drills at home ensures everyone in the home knows what to do and where to go in case a fire occurs.
