The three important factors associated with fire safety are prevention, detection, and escape. To increase fire safety in your dwelling, use the following list as a guide. Be sure that smokers are careful with cigarettes or other smoking products. Don't overload electrical outlets or extension cords. Check all appliances regularly to ensure safe operation and report or replace at the first sign of any malfunction.
Frayed cords are dangerous.
When cooking with oil or other grease, use caution and never leave the kitchen. Grease fired should be smothered with a pan lid before they get out of control. Keep all flammable materials always from the heating equipment. If any space heaters are used, they must not be in a crowded area but have open area around them. Always use a screen in front of a fireplace.
