Can You Prevent a House Fire?

Not all house fires are preventable but this are some good things to know to keep you and your loved ones safe that we see many times in a house fire:

Stay in the kitchen-Never leave a hot cooking surface unattended

Check the Dryer-make sure that cords and connections are inspected. Always clean out the lint trap after a load is finished. Snake the outside hose to much sure that lint hasn't built up in there

Maintain Cords: Regularly check the condtion of cords and watch for frayed wires, repair or replace cords immediately

Flammable Products: Keep flammable products away from heat, including exposure to sunlight. Designate a cool, dark cupboard for flammable products

Candles: Never leave candles unattended and always keep them away from blankets and curtains and even animals
