We respond to fire damage emergencies 24-hours a day in Hawaii and Maui.

Aloha! If you use babysitters in Hawi, you will want to ensure they know how to respond in the event of a fire. Our teams in Hawaii and Maui offer these babysitting tips from the National Fire Protection Association:

Show the babysitter your home escape plan and make sure the babysitter understands:

• There are two ways out of every room
• Where the outdoor meeting place is located
• The fire department or emergency phone number
• The address of the home
• How to unlock all doors and windows
• Keeps your child at least three feet away from the stove
• Keeps your child at least three feet away from the microwave oven
• Never leave the room while cooking
• Keeps anything that can catch fire away from the stovetop
• Keeps pets off surfaces and countertops
• Get out of the home quickly with your child to safety when the smoke alarm sounds
• Use the second way out if smoke is in the way
• Get low and go under the smoke to the exit if an escape must be made through smoke
• Store matches and lighters out of your child’s reach
• Your babysitter should not use candles
• Make sure your babysitter keeps a three-foot “kid-free zone” around space heaters
