How can I protect myself from fire while I am asleep?

When we go to bed at night, it's a good idea to close the door. Reason being, if there's fires in the home, doors are a barrier. So it makes it a little bit more difficult for that fire to then get through that door into potentially the room that you're in. The second thing is always make sure you have smoke detectors installed in the house and they should be in every room up high on the wall, and on the ceiling if you have stairwells and things of that nature. Your smoke detectors should be at the top and under the stairs as well, somewhere near the kitchen but not necessarily in the kitchen because of the fact of cooking and we know that we're going to get a little bit higher heat. That's how you can protect yourself from fire whilst you are asleep.
