5 Procedures and Equipment to Keep You Safe in the Event of a Fire 1. Keep Items Away From the Stove The majority of home fires start in the kitchen as a result of carelessness; an overhanging towel near your burner can catch fire, or a wooden spoon can fall out of a pot and catch fire. It's crucial to keep flammable materials away from the oven and stove. 2. Don’t Overload Power Outlets Overloaded electrical circuits are another prevalent cause of house fires. Less is more when it comes to using a power strip or attaching cables to your outlets. To avoid an electrical fire, keep an eye out for frayed extension or appliance chords and replace them right away. 3. Always have a fire extinguisher on hand in your home. A fire can start in any room of your house at any time, which is why having fire safety equipment on hand is essential. To keep you and your family safe, Northland Fire & Safety Inc. recommends keeping a fire extinguisher in the kitchen. 4. Annually inspect the furnace and water heater Your furnace and water heater, like most household equipment, require regular maintenance to perform at their best. They can cause a fire hazard if they're not properly serviced because they're fuel-burning appliances. Annually inspect your furnace and boiler. 5. Plan a Family Fire Drill Planning a family fire drill is a terrific approach to get your family to practise fire safety at home.
