Operation 7 Save a Life: Important tips from Kelly and Mark

NEW YORK -- A fire safety reminder from Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos.

Fire safety is something we are vigilant about in our home.

Fire, smoke, and flames spread quickly: Early warning can saves lives.

Working smoke alarms are a must. Install one on every floor, in bedrooms and in hallways.

Be alert when cooking, and never leave open flames unattended.

Remember to unplug appliances after use, and never overload outlets or extension cords.

These tips could save your life, your home, and your property.

Fire safety starts with you!
