🍁🔥 Fall Fire Safety Tips to Keep Your Home and Family Safe 🔥🍁
As the leaves change and the temperature drops, fire risks can increase in our homes. Here are some essential fire safety tips to enjoy a safe and cozy fall season:
Inspect Heating Systems: Have your furnace, HVAC, or space heaters professionally serviced. Keep space heaters at least 3 feet from anything flammable and never leave them unattended.
Use Fireplace Safety: Clean your chimney annually, use a sturdy screen to catch sparks, and keep flammable items away from the fireplace.
Be Cautious with Fall Décor: Keep dried leaves, wreaths, and decorations away from open flames and heat sources. Use battery-operated candles instead of real ones in jack-o-lanterns and other décor.
Practice Candle Safety: Never leave lit candles unattended, keep them out of pets' and children's reach, and use snuffers to extinguish them safely.
Maintain Clear Exits: Ensure decorations do not block doors or windows that serve as emergency exits.
Create and Practice a Fire Escape Plan: Know two ways out of every room, designate a safe outdoor meeting spot, and practice regularly with your family.
