Make sure your vents aren't blocked, better to have a slight draught than be poisoned!!

Our nightly routine: fireguard up, everything plugged out, all internal doors closed and keys next to the front door in case of emergency.

always close doors, if there is a fire it will take longer for the smoke to spread if the doors are closed

Always read labels on medication very careful (you wouldn't want to mix up Deep Heat and Preparation H) :O(

When you lock a door with key make sure you ALWAYS put the keys in the same place. Never leave them in the kitchen, in your pockets, bag. have one designated place near the door to keep there all the house keys.
In case of emergency you won't have chance to go back to search for it.

Elessar

When locking your door at night, leave the keys in the door!

In the event of a fire, with black smoke everywhere and in a blind panic, you won't be able to search for them. If they're in the door you'll able to escape quickly!

celticcrash

Never ever try to dry your hair over he gas cooker.

Billy Bunting

If you have gas appliances (cooker or fire etc) make sure the room that it is located in has proper venting!
