Carelessness causes most fires in the home. Does your home pass this checklist?  Place a checkmark next to the items that your household has done.  Test your friends too! 

  • Lighters and matches are in a locked or high cabinet.
  • Cooking pot handles in the kitchen are facing toward the back of the stove. 
  • Your electrical outlets are not overloaded and you don't have any frayed cracked, or broken cords. 
  • After grilling or using the fireplace, your hot ashes are stored in a proper metal container, filled with water, away from the house. 
  • Your smoke detectors have been changed twice a year at the same time you reset your clocks for Daylight Saving Time or another standard time. 
  • All exits from rooms are not blocked. 
  • You have a fire extinguisher on each level of the house. 
  • You have the family escape plan mapped out and posted in a visible place in the house.
  • Small appliances are unplugged if not in use.
