Use power strips with surge protectors instead. Don't replace faulty home electrical wiring unless you are qualified. Don't store flammable liquids in your home. If you must store them, store them outside in an approved container. Don't clutter your home with combustible materials, especially around your hot water heater and furnace.
Smoke Detectors Buy and install smoke detectors.
They can alert you to a fire in time for you to escape. Place smoke detectors in central locations on every level of your home, in every bedroom, and in the hall outside your bedrooms. Don't place a smoke detector too close to the kitchen. Cooking can trigger a false alarm. Change batteries in your detectors when you change your clocks in spring and fall.
