Tips for Fire Safety In Your Home:

House fires are an unpleasant reality that can strike just about any home. How can you prevent your home from becoming a statistic?

1)      Ensure proper maintenance and correct usage of your fireplace. The number one leading cause of house fires is the fireplace.

2)      Do not overload fireplaces with more wood or other flammable substances.

3)      Ensure a wide berth between any flammable substance and your fireplace. Stray sparks can quickly turn a quiet warm fire into a roaring catastrophe. Consider investing in a metal screen to minimize the escape of sparks.

4)      Regularly inspect your fireplace.

5)      Keep the flue damper open.

6)      Ensure that you have functional smoke detectors on every floor in your home.
