Your home is your castle, and as such, you should know how to keep your castle safe. Knowing about home fire safety is important step in this endeavor. Most importantly, you should have working smoke detectors on each level of your home. You should have two ways of escape from as many rooms as possible. Keep fire extinguishers on hand to quickly contain small localized flames, such as kitchen fires. Instruct your children about never playing with matches, how to stay safe around candles, and keeping a clearance around space heaters. These are some important ways you can keep your castle free of fire.
How fire safety saved my life
When we were children we grew up in a townhome development. My mother was always extremely paranoid about us being trapped in a fire, and so once every few weeks my mother would have us go out and do home fire safety drills. As children we thought this drill was extremely annoying, until in 1995 the townhome next to ours, caught on fire. The fire spread extremely quickly, and smoke literally filled our entire house. It was right around five o’clock in the morning, and the smoke detectors went off. Instead of panicking my sister and me along with my mother quickly exited the home following the fire drill routine that we had done for the past few years. We were extremely thankful that my mother had taken the time to do fire drills, and take fire safety seriously. This saved our lives.

One of the best days of my life
One days of my life was the day I met my best friend. Her name is Melissa. We were both 10 years old and we were at the end of our fifth grade year. My sister and I knew that there were two girls our age were moving in. We introduced ourselves to each other and started to play in both our yards. We lived right across the street from each other. That summer we played capture the flag, rode our bikes to the library and went exploring in the woods. That day was the beginning of a lifelong friendship.

What a boring person does for fun
I’ve never been much for excitement. There’s girls my age who go clubbing, go shopping and drive too fast. I’m broke and I live in a really small town. What I do for fun is a little limited. I like to solve logic problems in bulk. I actually buy them in bulk. I also like to watch episodes of “CSI: Miami” on DVD while I am painting oil paint portraits. I like to have my friends come over so we can cook meals 0 usually eggs or rice and beans. There are not many options for people who are allergic to both eggs and dairy.

My best friends fear of fire
My Best friend just bought a fire marshall vest from this company online. When he first told me he bought it I thought it was pretty funny, but I can kind of see why he bought it. Everyone should be prepared for a fire, but he pushes it. He is completely afraid of fires. I get the fear of fires, but I really think he takes it over the top. His house if full of fire alarms, he has two in every room of his house. He also has rope ladders in each room; even the ground level rooms have rope ladders.

What I ate for dinner last night
I was hungry and I was working late at night painting. I was tired of smelling the paint fumes. I got in my car and drove to Taco Bell where I bought two tacos, rice and beans. I saw in my car in the Wal-Mart parking lot eating my greasy food. I had all the windows rolled down and I was sitting there watching people come and go. I called my friend in Pennsylvania and we talked for about forty-five minutes. I would’ve stayed longer but a police car kept patrolling the parking lot. By that time it was 11:30 at night.

The current recession
The recession is still on-going. I think that if people want to really know how the recession is going, they need to meet some of the families in my neighborhood. I think the recession has given opportunities to be creative. For example, there’s the concept of “stay-captions” where people go on vacation in their hometown. People are shopping more at discount stores and buying in bulk. I think the recession is stretching people and we’ll come out stronger.

I was planning to sleep in this morning, but the Mississippi heat was absolutely oppressive. I was up and dressed within a matter of minutes. I got a granola bar out of the cupboard instead of cooking eggs for breakfast. I was painting over the weekend and my kitchen. It still smelled like paint. One of the walls is the color of Big Bird. I wanted to cheer up the dining room; because of the dark wood paneling the room looked like a cave! I took my dog to work with me because it was too hot to leave her at home. I arrived at work and I’m the only one who showed up so far. That’s good because I haven’t gotten anything done so far.

Exercising fire safety
I just ordered a fire escape ladder from this online store. I bought it, because my best friend’s parents just had a fire. I know that the likelihood of a fire at my house is low, but I just wanted to be safe. I figured safety is the best policy, especially with my two year old twins running around. My husband keeps telling me that I’m freaking out over nothing, but I don’t care. We have put up more smoke alarms in the house and also went over a few different fire drills with the girls. The only problem is they are two and well that should explain it all.
