Fire prevention

Did you know that in less than 30 seconds a small flame can turn into a major fire? It is very important to have a working smoke detector. It’s recommended to replace your smoke detector battery twice a year unless using a lithium battery. There should be a smoke detector on every level of your home. A smoke detector should be replaced every 10 years. There should be an escape plan to exit your property. The escape plan should have two ways to get out of each room in case the primary way is blocked. Any valuable documents and records such as birth certificates should have digital copies in case originals are lost in a fire. There should be a fire extinguisher in the kitchen.
