4 Safety Tips to Prevent Home Fires

4 Safety Tips to Prevent Home Fires

February 2, 2017General ArticlesBailey Helton

Keep your family and home safe by employing these fire safety tips.

There’s a chill in the air, and there’s nothing quite like cozying up in front of the fire. The problem? You could be putting your home at risk! Ready.gov reports that over 12,000 people are injured in home fires each year, and those fires do over $7 billion in damage.

How can you keep your family and property safe from home fires? Here are four tips that can help!

  1. Have a plan. Talk with your family about what to do if a fire breaks out. Make sure everyone – especially your kids – knows the most direct route out of the house from every room. Practice the stop, drop, and roll together.
  2. Check your fire alarms. You most likely have fire alarms installed on every floor of your house, but are you confident they’re all in working order? Test your alarms’ batteries monthly.
  3. Cook carefully. Cooking accidents cause the majority of home fires. Never leave the stovetop unattended. Roll up your sleeves as you cook, and keep kids well clear of stoves and grills.
  4. Give space heaters space. In our warm desert climate, you might not want to run your heater to only heat up a single room in your house. Space heaters come in handy, but be careful! Make sure you keep them at least three feet from any combustible items.

While these tips will help you shrink your risk of home fires, it’s important to be prepared for the worst. The right homeowners insurance policy can alleviate the financial devastation that all too often comes with a fire at home. The professionals at Phocus Insurance can find you the best policies for your needs.
