Losing your home to a fire is a scary thought, but there’s plenty you can do to prevent fires from starting. Accidents can happen, but you can learn how to avoid a fire from starting and spreading through your home. Here are some tips

  • Install smoke alarms that combine flashing lights on every level of your home. Test them monthly and change the batteries every six months.
  • Create an escape plan and practice them with your family.
  • Keep grills, cookers, and fryers at least 3 feet away from your house and shrubs or bushes.
  • Properly store flammable products. If they are exposed to a significant heat source, they can combust.
  • Always turn off heaters when leaving the room or going to bed.
  • Service your chimneys, fireplaces, wood stoves, and central furnace once a year.
  • Store a fire extinguisher on every level of your home.
  • Never smoke in bed
  • Keep an eye on your cooking. Cooking is the number one cause of residential fires.
  • Never leave burning candles unattended.
  • Look for frayed wires and damaged cords. If you see any exposed wires, unplug the electronics and replace them immediately.
