It’s hot, dry, and the winds are insane – Are you prepared? Is your family? Friends? Acquaintances even? Always plan ahead, especially right now. Here are some tips on fire prevention in the meantime:

– Keep flammable objects at least three (3) feet away from any open flame, such as: cloth, wood, paper, etc.
– Do you have a sprinkler system set up? Keeping the area cool and wet will help with fires that are spreading quickly and this gives you a little extra time.
– Fire Extinguishers! It’s important to keep one in the kitchen as well as your garage.
– Remove clutter from the kitchen.
– Teach you and your family about fire safety, and plan for an evacuation at any time. Don’t forget your pets if you have any!
– Install smoke alarms, and do not disable them. It’s important to test them on a monthly basis and always have fresh batteries in just in case of an emergency.
– And as always, remember to insure your home with fire insurance coverage.
