Fire Safety Tips

Fire is among the most horrifying disasters that can happen in life. Losing property to a fire is so devastating that one could wonder how one could ever recover from it. Fire can eat up everything we have, even our loved ones’ lives. It is important to be wary to avoid huge property damage. Here are some basic tips to consider.

Kitchen and Heater

• Try to avoid dozing off if you have the stove or oven running.
• Use a timer to remind you of the food that you are cooking
• If your oven doesn’t have a timer, your phone or a traditional alarm clock will do
• Keep food packaging away from stove top area
• Put a fire extinguisher near the kitchen
• Never leave heaters running all day or night
• Keep the heater out of reach of children and pets
• Make a fire escape plan

In Case of a Power Outage

A candle is a dependable companion during unexpected power outages so it’s important to keep our temporary lights attended.

• Extinguish candles before going to sleep or when you’re going out
• Keep a few feet’s distance between candles and any flammable objects
• Use candle holders with flat surfaces
• Use flashlights instead of candles if they’re available and more practical 

In Case of Sudden Fire

Just the idea of getting victimized by fire is frightening, so it’s in our best interests to take every precaution. In case fire happens, call the firemen hotline ASAP and move out from the burning area. Inform the neighborhood of what’s happening and seek help.
