Make sure your home is prepared to not only warn you in the event of a fire but to prevent a fire all together. Below are tips to preventing fire in your home:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Smoke Alarms \u2013 Install them if you have none, and check the ones you do have. Press the test button once a month and change batteries every year. Smoke alarms older than 10 years are more likely to fail.<\/li>\n
  2. Carbon Monoxide (CO) Alarms \u2013 Equally as important as smoke alarms is having a unit that will alert you of high levels of carbon monoxide in the home. Check the unit\u2019s packaging and also with your local fire department to learn more about what constitutes a hazardous CO reading.<\/li>\n
  3. Heating Equipment \u2013 Heating equipment is a leading factor in home fires during winter months. Be sure to have furnaces serviced by a reputable inspector, cleaned and maintained each fall before cold weather sets in. When operating portable or fixed space heaters, be conscious to keep them away from items that could ignite, including drapes and articles of clothing.<\/li>\n
  4. Personal Habits \u2013 Be conscious of where you are when you do the things you do. Smoking is the leading cause of fire deaths, sending bedding, trash and furniture up in flames. More fires start in the kitchen than any other place in the home, so keep a watchful eye on what you\u2019re cooking.<\/li>\n
  5. Flammables \u2013 Ensure that flammables, such as gasoline, kerosene and paints, are kept in proper containers, tightly sealed and stored away from heat and flame. Never store any of those items near a furnace or hot water heater, and be sure to follow manufacturer instructions on storing these types of products.<\/li>\n
  6. Extinguishers \u2013 Many small home fires can be taken care of using a fire extinguisher before they get out of hand. One thing to remember, though, is that extinguishers do not last forever \u2013 plan on replacing the unit about every three years.<\/li>\n
  7. Candles \u2013 Blow out your candles when you leave a room and never leave them burning if you leave the house.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
