Emergencies
In case of an emergency, all the adults in your household should know where the following controls are located and how to turn them off:

• Heating fuel main shutoff 
• Main electrical fuse/breaker box 
• Main water shutoff 
• Water shutoff valve for toilets, sink faucets, and your washing machine.
         
  Keep a wrench nearby each of the vital shutoff valves. Every home should also have a fire extinguisher in the kitchen and in the garage.
