By Firefighter William Campbell
December 11, 2014

Did you know that over HALF of all home heating fires occur in December, January, and February. Additionally, 2 Billion in property loss occurs from winter home fires.

If your concerned about fire safety this winter complete this simple checklist to ensure you have a safe holiday season:

QUICK CHECKS:

Have you tested your smoke alarms?
Have you tested your carbon monoxide alarms?
Have you had your furnace professionally inspected?
Have you gotten you chimney professionally cleaned and inspected?
Have you checked your appliances for damaged or worn cords?
Have you dryer exhaust vent for lint build up?
Do you have a covered metal container ready to dispose of cooled ashes?


TOO HOT TO HANDLE:

Do your portable space heaters have and automatic shutoff?
Is there at least three feet of space between space heaters and other objects?
Do you turn off space heaters overnight or when unattended?
Are your space heaters plugged directly into an outlet?
Do your children know to always keep three feet away from any space heater?
Do you always use a fire guard in front of a burning fire?


JUST IN CASE:

If there is a fire hydrant in front of your house, are you committed to keeping it free of snow?
Have you made and practiced a fire escape plan?
Do you have a fire extinguisher handy?
Do your children know how to dial 9-1-1?
Are your house numbers easily visible?
Do you have a packed, emergency supply kit in your home?

Happy Holidays from your friends at the Dunn's Corners Fire Department, and protectamerica.com
