Are there other ways I can protect my family from fires?
The following is a fire safety checklist to lower the chances that a fire may start in
your home:
• Keep the furnace in working order.
• Use a fireplace screen.
• Have proper ventilation for heaters and other small appliances.
• Do not smoke in bed.
• Use the correct size fuses.
• Don't use worn out electrical wiring or run it under rugs or out windows or doors.
• Clear refuse away—the less clutter, the less fuel a fire has to feed on.
At First Alert, your family's fire safety is our first concern. But, we can't do it
alone. By properly equipping your home with smoke alarms and fire
extinguishers you'll be taking an important first step in providing total fire
protection for your family. If you have any other questions regarding fire safety,
