As Love is Heating Up, Stay Fire-Free

 

This Valentine's Day, when you settle down by the fire or enjoy a candle-lit dinner, remember to practice fire safety.

Fire Safety Musts:

  • Keep a portable ABC dry chemical fire extinguisher in your home. Wet class K extinguishers are recommended for stove top fires.
  • Install smoke and carbon monoxide detectors in the kitchen and within 15 feet of each bedroom entrance.
  • Check the batteries in your smoke detector at least twice a year.
