How to prevent a fire

1. Install smoke detectors & Fire extinguishers

2. Keep your stove and oven clean and practice kitchen safety

3. Do regular checks of cords around the house for fraying, especially under rugs

4. Call a professional to inspect your dryer and heating sources annually

5. Never leave candles unattended 

6. Have your chimney & fireplace inspected professionally

7. Never leave lights or lamps burning for hours on end

8. Make sure your electric appliances are UL-listed

9. Don't overload power strips or outlets with multiple charging cords

When the going gets tough

While you can’t completely avoid fires, you can minimize the damage it does to your home. Homeowners insurance is there to protect you in your time of need (even when you feel that things are out of control). Ultimately though, if you follow fire safety guidelines, it can keep you, your loved ones and your home out of harm’s way. Stay safe!
