Fire prevention month is an important month for me not only because of my work with insurance but also because of my 29 years of being a volunteer firefighter with the Franklin fire department. There's nothing good that comes out of an unintended fire but the good news is that by just remembering a few of the following things you can avoid a fire and the potential damage and trauma that accompanies it.
Cooking is the leading cause of home fires and home fire injuries don't ever leave the kitchen when frying boiling grilling or broiling food and always keep a lid nearby in order to extinguish a grease fire if one should start. Did you know working smoke alarms cut the risk of dying in a home fire in half test your smoke alarms every month and make sure everyone in the home understands the sound of the smoke alarm and knows how to respond.
Be careful with the use of space heaters keep anything that can burn at least three feet away from heating equipment. Click below for a full list of precautions to take that will not only keep the firefighter but also the insurance adjuster away.
