Hello everyone, its time once again to change our clocks, and check the batteries in our smoke detectors. While were at it lets take it one step further. Spring is upon us, there's no better time to do a little spring cleaning. Take just a few minutes to look around your house and look for fire hazards. A good place to start is your utility room. Check around your furnace and water heater to make sure you dont have any combustibe materials such as papers, boxes or any thing that could catch on fire. A good rule of thumb is to keep any of those items at least 24 inches away. Next look in your garage. Check for any flamable liquids, gas, oil, and any old rags that may be lying around. Keep your garage organized, youd be amazed the difference that it will make from a fire safety standpoint. Not to mention you'll be able to find your tools when you need them. Finally test you Smoke Detector and Carbon Monoxide alarms. You'll rest easier knowng that they are ready and working for you.
We hope you have a wonderful Spring.
Remember..........BE Smart... BE Safe... BE READY!
