FacebookFacebookTwitterTwitterEmailEmailShareShare

As a homeowner, you are responsible for the safety of your family and your home. This includes taking precautions to prevent and prepare for fires. Here are some fire safety tips for homeowners:

* Install smoke alarms on every level of your home and outside sleeping areas. Test them monthly and replace the batteries at least once a year.

* Develop and practice a home fire escape plan. Make sure everyone in your family knows two ways to exit every room and knows to meet at a safe location outside.

* Keep flammable and combustible materials, such as cleaning supplies, paint thinners, and gasoline, away from heat sources. Store them outside of the home if possible.

* Never leave burning candles unattended.

* Inspect electrical cords and appliances regularly for signs of damage. Do not overload outlets.

* If you must use a space heater, place it on a level, non-flammable surface and keep it away from flammable materials.

By following these fire safety tips, you can help keep your family safe from fire.
