October is Fire Safety Month, and if you haven’t recently, there are a few things you should do to ensure you and your loved ones are safe and protected from the risk of a house fire.
It’ll only take about 10 minutes to knock out this list, but the payoff could be lifesaving.
1) Test your alarms – smoke and carbon monoxide.
2) Ensure your space heaters have space to operate effectively and ensure every adult knows how to safely use a space heater.
3) Inspect your electrical cords to ensure they’re intact and free of frays. Replace as necessary.
4) Practice safe cooking. Keep oven mitts and towels away from open flames, and always turn pot handles towards the back of the stove. Consider purchasing a fire blanket for ease of putting out sudden flames.
5) Have a fire escape plan and review it with the members of your household.
Stay safe, and let us know if you have any additional concerns or questions after reading this post. We’re here to help however we can.
