7 Fire Prevention Tips For Your Home

How to avoid a home fire.

Clear The Air knows the dangers of a home fire and the horrible aftermath it leaves behind.

Our product works wonders for eliminating any smoke odor from your home. Please contact us if you need help eliminating smoke odors from your home.

Make sure your home is prepared to not only warn you in the event of a fire but to prevent a fire all together. Below are tips to preventing fire in your home:

1. Smoke Alarms – Install them if you have none, and check the ones you do have. Press the test button once a month and change batteries every year. Smoke alarms older than 10 years are more likely to fail.
2. Carbon Monoxide (CO) Alarms – Equally as important as smoke alarms is having a unit that will alert you of high levels of carbon monoxide in the home. Check the unit’s packaging and also with your local fire department to learn more about what constitutes a hazardous CO reading.
3. Heating Equipment – Heating equipment is a leading factor in home fires during winter months. Be sure to have furnaces serviced by a reputable inspector, cleaned and maintained each fall before cold weather sets in. When operating portable or fixed space heaters, be conscious to keep them away from items that could ignite, including drapes and articles of clothing.
4. Personal Habits – Be conscious of where you are when you do the things you do. Smoking is the leading cause of fire deaths, sending bedding, trash and furniture up in flames. More fires start in the kitchen than any other place in the home, so keep a watchful eye on what you’re cooking.
5. Flammables – Ensure that flammables, such as gasoline, kerosene and paints, are kept in proper containers, tightly sealed and stored away from heat and flame. Never store any of those items near a furnace or hot water heater, and be sure to follow manufacturer instructions on storing these types of products.
6. Extinguishers – Many small home fires can be taken care of using a fire extinguisher before they get out of hand. One thing to remember, though, is that extinguishers do not last forever – plan on replacing the unit about every three years.
7. Candles – Blow out your candles when you leave a room and never leave them burning if you leave the house.

Fire Prevention In Your Home

Don’t let a fire occur in your home.  Consider these helpful preventative tips to avoid a home fire.

If you unfortunately experience a fire in your home, you are probably aware the smoke odor can be overwhelming and prevent your home from being inhabitable.  Clear the Air guarantees to completely eliminate any smoke odor from your home.

Smoke Alarm:

• Fit a smoke alarm and test it regularly each level of your home – it’s the simplest step you can take to cut the risk of dying as a result of a fire in your home.
• Test the batteries in your smoke alarm every week and change them every year – never remove them apart from when replacing them.

Cooking:

• More than half of accidental fires in the home start because of something to do with cooking.
• Take extra care when cooking with hot oil and don’t leave children alone in the kitchen when the oven is on.

Planning:

• Plan an escape route and make a bedtime check.
• Plan a route to escape your home if there is a fire and make sure everyone in the house knows the plan.
• If there’s a fire, don’t tackle it yourself – get out, stay out and call 911.
• Check for fire hazards in your home before you go to bed – it takes longer to become aware of a fire when asleep.

Electricity:

• Try to keep to one plug per socket – too many electrical appliances plugged into one socket can overload it, which can lead to overheating.
• Electrical appliances, plugs and cables that are old or poorly wired can also be a real danger.

Cigarettes and Candles:

• Put them out, right out.
• More people die in fires caused by smoking products than in fires caused by anything else.
• Always stub cigarettes out properly and dispose of them carefully.
• Use candles carefully.
• Candles, decorative lights and decorations are a growing cause of fires.
• Make sure candles are secured in a stable holder and kept away from curtains, fabrics and paper.
• Always put candles out when you are leaving the room or going to bed.

Home Insurance:

• Home insurance can help you after a fire – for example, by replacing belongings that were destroyed in the blaze.
