Make sure your home is safe by conducting regular fire safety inspections.

Some Home Safety Checks:

      Avoid pan fires in the kitchen by not overheating oils. Never leave a pot or pan unattended during cooking.

      Dryer lint is highly combustible, so keep the dryer filter clean at all times.

      Have the chimney checked for defects and cleaned at least once a year. Other heating devices such as furnaces and stoves should at least be inspected yearly by qualified personnel.

      Make sure furniture, curtains and bedding are located well away from heating devices and heat registers.

      Smoke alarms are required on each level of the house.

      Do not overload circuits because this can generate heat that could start a fire.
