To prevent a fire in your home, make sure that all electrical wiring and appliances are up-to-date and in good condition. Avoid overloading electrical outlets, and never leave cooking food unattended. Additionally, make sure that you have working smoke detectors and fire extinguishers in your home.
Create and practice a home fire escape plan with your family. Ensure that smoke detectors are installed and working properly, and keep a fire extinguisher on hand.
Smoke detectors should be replaced every 10 years while the batteries should be replaced annually. Check the manufacturer's recommendations for your specific model.
Install carbon monoxide detectors on every floor of your home and near sleeping areas. Have your heating system, water heater, and any other gas or oil appliances serviced annually by a qualified technician.
