Fire Prevention Month: Tips to Keep Your Home Safe
Did you know that October is Fire Prevention Month? The timing of this important month of awareness isn't coincidental. October is the beginning of fall and, therefore, the beginning of the season where most Americans start heating their homes for the winter. The National Fire Protection Association reports that home heating equipment is the second biggest cause of house fires, making October a timely reminder to begin thinking about how to protect your home and your family this winter. Here are five important tips for fire prevention from our REALTORS®.
- Install and maintain smoke detectors.
Smoke detectors are your earliest warnings of a house fire, especially at night when everyone is sleeping. Generally, Ashland homes for sale should have a smoke detector on every level and one outside every bedroom or sleeping area. A smoke detector in or near the kitchen is also advisable but should be at least 10 feet away from the stove and oven to avoid false alarms. Check all smoke detectors once a month to ensure they are operating correctly, and replace the batteries once a year.
