Home Fires

6/16/2020

There is a long list of causes when it comes to home fires. They're beginning to become a commonality. When you're the victim of a house fire you lose everything; all the memories you've made, burnt to a crisp.

Some practices to preventing a fire in your home are as follows:

• Make sure everything is switched OFF and unplugged

• Check/Inspect your chimney annually

•  Keep comforters and anything flammable away from heaters

• Test fire alarms/ replace batteries frequently

• Never smoke in the home

• Keep a spoon or spatula as a reminder when cooking/ do not leave stove tops unattended when lit

It is widely recommended that families practice a fire escape route in the event a fire does occur. No one sees a fire coming and it's best you know what plan of action to take in case you're faced with one.
