How to prevent a house fire

Fire prevention is more important than many realize and these general fire prevention practices help to keep your home safe:

1. Clear your home’s surroundings of debris and combustible materials.
2. Maintain your lawn and keep bushes and trees trimmed.
3. Use fire-resistant materials when building or updating your home.
4. Make sure your home has a fully functioning fire alarm system.
5. Keep a shovel and fire extinguisher in an easily accessible place.
6. Practice appropriate fire safety measures with campfires.
7. Prepare a fire safety plan.

Many people think about the safety and security of their family, but they often overlook the dangers posed by fires. Fire safety can make all the difference in fire-prone areas and can help to prevent wildfires from spreading in dry, hot locations. Rather than letting a normal fire get out of hand, keep it contained by arming your home with the appropriate fire protections.
