Essential Fire
Safety Tips

01

Smoke Alarms

Install smoke alarms on every level of your home, inside each bedroom, and outside sleeping areas. Test them monthly and replace batteries at least once a year.

02

Escape Plan

Create and practice a home fire escape plan with two ways out of every room. Meet at a designated spot outside and never go back inside during a fire.

03

Kitchen Safety

Never leave cooking unattended on the stove. Keep flammable items away from heat sources, and keep a fire extinguisher accessible in the kitchen.

04

Heating Safety

Have furnaces and chimneys inspected annually. Keep space heaters at least 3 feet from anything that can burn, and never leave them running overnight.

Request a Free Safety Inspection

Our team can visit your home or business to identify hazards and ensure your property meets fire safety standards.
