Every month, be it in the beginning OF, the middle of, or toward the end of but at lest once a month "TEST YOUR SMOKE DETECTORS" in the home
Don't let thoughts keep you from doing that monthly test of your early warning of smoke & fire!
For many of us, the nice spring weather that is with us now is a reminder that it is time to work on that spring cleaning checklist.
As we many begin the cleaning and clearing the debris that accumulated over the winter month, it's recommend that all should add home fire safety to their list.
To assist in fire proofing the home during the spring season consider the following fire safety tips:
* Check, clean, TEST your smoke alarm(s).
* Check, clean, TEST your Carbon monoxide alarm(s).
* Check your fire extinguisher.
* Make sure electrical electrical outlets and extension cords are not overloaded.
* Have air conditioning units and other electrical appliances checked by a licensed professional
* Clear your basement and attics from old papers, oily rags and broken furniture.
* Make sure all fire exits or escapes routes that are indicated in your fire escape are clear of any debris and are not blocked off.
* Inspect your charcoal gas grills.
* Spread mulch at least a foot away from the house with a not combustible barrier in between, such as rock.
* Finally, when you are finishing spring cleaning make sure all cleaning products are stored in child safety latched drawers and cabinets with the original labels.
