Identifying Fire Hazards in Your Home

A home fire can occur in as little as two minutes. Identifying fire hazards in your home is a great way to help prevent fires from occurring.

Whenever possible, unplug your electronics when not in use.
Try to ensure that your appliances have their own outlets and use extension cords to reach more distant outlets.
In the kitchen, check if your towel racks, paper towel dispensers or curtains are sitting too close to any cooking equipment.
If your microwave isn’t built in, make sure that it is clear of clutter and its vents are not obstructed.
Always keep anything that gives off heat at least 3 feet away from flammable materials or items.
Do not plug more than one heating appliance into an outlet.
Don’t leave candles burning or heating appliances plugged in while you’re asleep or when you leave your home.
For laundry appliances, clean out the lint screen on your dryer every time you use it.
Check for old magazines or newspapers in the attic. If stored in damp, warm places, these can self-combust even if not close to a heat source!
Keep any gasoline or other flammable liquids at home tightly sealed in metal containers and make sure they are far away from heat sources such as gas or charcoal grills.
Keep your grill least 10 feet from your home and placed away from any overhead branches or structures.
