I could write many thousands of words on this topic and others like it but no one would read it. I hope, by writing these things, to inspire people to take a more active role in their own safety, as you have been inspired to do, and build that desire into their children as we will have a much safer world if that happened. Imagine not-so-little-E applying skills you've taught him later in life to save himself or someone else...that would make me a proud parent as I assume you would be.
It's really so easy to do these things as outlined above, and it will almost certainly cause a person to have a greater awareness and probably want to do more.
Also, on the turn off the utilities thing...That's one of the first things a firefighter will do when attending a fire...makes sense for us to do it first.
