Have You Changed Your Smoke Alarm Batteries?
Daylight Saving Time recently ended. If you have not already done so, make sure you change the batteries in your smoke alarms and carbon monoxide (CO) detector. Remind others in your family to do the same at their homes. Smoke alarms save lives - but only when they are working. According to the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), three out of five home fire deaths in 2007-2011 happened in properties without working smoke alarms. You can protect yourself by changing your smoke alarm batteries once a year and by testing smoke alarm batteries once a month.
Getting Your Home Ready for Winter
There are other steps which are also important to take to protect your home and family for winter. As we increase use of heating appliances and cook winter meals, there becomes a greater risk for fire. The months of January, February and March see the most residential building fires each year, according to the U.S. Fire Administration. By taking some time now to look around your home, talk to your family and prepare, you can reduce the chance for fire and injury in your home this winter.
- Have your chimney and fireplace professionally cleaned.
- Have your furnace checked by a qualified professional.
- Move your BBQ to a safe storage area for the winter. Do not use it to cook in that place; only turn it on outside.
- If you plan to use an electric space heater, inspect it and make sure it is fit for operation. Replace it if you see any cracks in the appliance or tears in the cord.
- Find a place in your home where you can safely use your space heater this winter. Make sure you keep children away from it and that is at least three feet away from all combustible materials, such as bedding and clothing. Avoid using extension cords.
- Inspect your home's windows to make sure they fully close and will not cause your home to lose heat.
