Do not hang laundry near heating plant or electric wires. Door at head of cellar stairs should be of substantial construction, fit tightly, and be kept closed. Don't use a blow torch on gas or water pipes. Thaw frozen pipes with warm water, or call plumber. Do not use improper fuses.
Overloaded circuits permitted by improper fuses or dangerous substitutes are hazardous.
Garages Remove rubbish, litter, old papers. Keep clean - no oil drippings. Gasoline or other flammable fluids should not be stored. Never block door open. Improper, home-made extensions of wires violate electrical code and good practice.
