3 Ways To Avoid Fire Damage on Your Property

4/6/2021 (Permalink)

Your home is supposed to be a place of comfort and a sanctuary where you make memories and build your life. That is the reason why it is frightening to imagine your home ever suffering from a fire disaster. Although you can't control everything, here are some steps you can take to help reduce the risk of fire and smoke damage.

1. Smoke Alarms

If you don't already have a smoke detector or alarm, it's time to get one installed. These alarms are your best defense when it comes to minimizing fire damage. If you already have one, ensure you are checking it regularly. Test the batteries once a month and replace the system every ten years. Make sure you have an adequate number of detectors on every level if you have more than one floor in your home or business.

2. Fire Extinguishers

Choose a fire extinguisher that will correspond with your needs. They must be easily accessible, light enough to handle, and family members or employees are trained to use them.

3. Kitchen Incidents

Cooking equipment is often the cause of home fires and injuries. It's essential to be mindful while cooking in the kitchen, not only with how you cook but also leaving cooking surfaces unattended and appliances left on.
