　　Nobody expects it to happen to them，but they should.Of all the disasters that can strike a home，fire is the most common.Although smoke detectors(探测器)are now common，fire damages or destroys hundreds of thousands of homes each year.Fires account for more than 90 percent of American Red Cross disaster responses.But Red Cross preparedness and response spokesperson Tara Lynch says there are things you can do to help keep your family safe.The Red Cross advice boils_down to three principles：Get a kit，make a plan and be careful.

　　Get a kit. Every home should have smoke detectors，a fire extinguisher(灭火器)and an evacuation kit(紧急疏散器具箱)．Smoke detectors should be placed outside of every sleeping area and on every floor.Test your smoke detectors once a month.Make sure they will work when you need them.Your local fire station will train you on how to use a fire extinguisher.The evacuation kit should include a flashlight，IDs，driver's licenses and insurance papers，plus essential medicine，and even pet supplies.

　　Make a plan. Families should gather to make a fire escape plan and practice that plan at least twice a year.People in multistorey homes will need a fire ladder.Families should also decide on a place to meet after they escape from their homes.Even though it can be frightening for children and hard for parents to consider the possibility of a fire，proper planning can make an enormous difference in the event of an emergency.
