Our homes are our sanctuaries, offering comfort, warmth, and security. However, amidst the cozy ambiance, we must remain vigilant about potential fire hazards that can jeopardize our safety and property.

Here’s some tips to minimize the probability of a fire starting on your property:

1. Conduct regular inspections of your electrical appliances and cords. Avoid overloading outlets and use a circuit breaker.
2. Never leave cooking unattended and clean grease buildup on stovetops, exhaust hoods and in the ovens.
3. Regularly remove debris from furnaces and chimneys.
4. Keep candles away from flammable objects and use sturdy candle holders and ashtrays.
5. Install smoke alarms on every floor of your home, particularly near bedrooms. Test them monthly and replace batteries annually.

Protecting our homes from fire hazards is a shared responsibility that requires proactive measures and mindfulness.

Stay safe out there!
