An emergency doesn't wait for you to be ready—it forces you to act. The best way to stay calm and safe is to have a plan in place. Use this fire safety checklist for home and car to ensure you are fully protected.

Part 1: Home Safety Checklist

[ ] Smoke Alarms: Test all smoke alarms and change batteries twice a year.
[ ] Escape Plan: Ensure every family member knows two ways out of every room.
[ ] Kitchen Protection: Have an OUGIST Clean Guard mounted within 10 feet of the stove.
[ ] Heater Safety: Keep space heaters at least 3 feet away from curtains and furniture.
[ ] Electrical Check: Don't overload power strips or use frayed cords.

Part 2: Vehicle Safety Checklist

[ ] Extinguisher Check: Ensure your OUGIST Bodyguard is within reach of the driver’s seat.
[ ] Maintenance: Regularly check for oil and fuel leaks.
[ ] Emergency Exit: Does your car tool have a window breaker and seatbelt cutter? (OUGIST does!)
[ ] Clear the Clutter: Remove flammable debris like paper and old rags from the engine bay.
