Prep Your Home for Fire Season

Install and test smoke alarms. They should be on every level of your home and outside each sleeping area.

Check your fire extinguishers. Install high on the wall, near an exit, and away from children and all heat sources.

Check wiring and outlets. Check all electrical cords to make sure they’re not fraying. If you’re unsure about the capacity of your home’s electrical system, contact a licensed electrician.

Keep your clothes dryer clean. Prevent dryer fires by cleaning the lint filter before and after every load of laundry.

Protect your roof. Wood shingles are the most flammable roof material but can be treated with a fire retardant or a rooftop sprinkler system.

Keep debris away from your home.

Firewood, propane tanks, and building materials should be kept at least 30 feet from your home’s exterior.

Remember to create an evacuation plan.
