Fire Safety Tips

- Check smoke detectors every 2 months. If batteries are low, a chirping will sound, but if your alarm is defected, that detection won't go off.
- Always keep a small fire extinguisher in your kitchen. Grease fires and kitchen fires can start all too often. Having an extinguisher handy will minimize fire exponentially.
- Loose curtains should be tied back if they are around your stove.
- This goes hand in hand when cooking, tie back any loose hair or clothing that can easily catch fire.
- Outside cooking can be dangerous as well. Cooking on decks can be hazardous if you don't 'fire safe'. Always place a fire safe mat under your grill while moving it away from house walls.  It is always a great idea to keep another fire extinguisher outside as well.
