Winter is coming, are you ready?

Each year home fires increase during the fall and winter months, why is that?

As it gets colder and the days get shorter, we spend more time indoors. With spending more time indoors, there is a greater risk of fires in your home by :

Smoking

Kitchen fires

Space heater fires – due to overloaded circuits or there is too much clutter near the heaters.

 

We spend more time indoors, the risks increase!

Make sure your smoke alarms are functioning! Make sure you have a clear pathway to escape! Know 2 ways out! Make sure your smoke alarm is working! Don’t walk away from the stove when cooking!
