Fire Prevention Week

Fire Prevention Week starts on Sunday and it’s a good time to talk about some safety tips that will help reduce home fires.

• Tip #1: Never leave stoves, candles or open flames unattended; most home fires start in the kitchen.
• Tip #2: Douse cigarette butts in water before tossing in the garbage.
• Tip #3: Don’t charge electronic devices on one power strip, spreading them out reduces the risk of fires.

BONUS TIP: When charging items on a power strip, don’t place the power strip on a fabric or near other flammable items.
