Your home is a place where you build memories of a lifetime. Therefore, it’s imperative to protect them from sudden fires that can consume your life earnings in an instant. Here are the five most important tips to protect you and your loves ones:
- Test Smoke Alarms: Homeowners should regularly check the smoke alarms. If you live in an apartment, it’s the duty of the landlord to ensure that all smoke alarms are working properly. There is a little “test button” beside a smoke alarm that beeps on pressing it. If there is no beep, you need to change the batteries.
- Inspect Heating Source: Debris and dust from the heating source is a potential disaster waiting to happen. Make sure that air filters of space heaters are cleaned, and all heating sources are checked regularly.
- Keep Stove and Oven Clean: Most ovens and stoves are fire-resistant, which often means that they will not catch fire abruptly. However, it is the food particles that accumulate over time, which are the main cause of house fires. Loose items near the oven and forgotten dish on a burner are other contributing factors.
- Don’t Leave the Kitchen: Kitchen fires are quick to consume the entire house; therefore, don’t leave anything on the burner unattended. Also, watch over the oven because a dirty oven can catch flames in an instant.
- Safely Store Hazardous Products: Shaving creams, perfumes, sprays, and cosmetics are known sources of fire hazard. Let everyone at your home know that these items can catch fire if exposed to heat.
