Fire safety is something we all need to think about. So, grab your coffee, and let’s dive into a few simple tips that can make a big difference.
Watch Your Wiring
Old or overloaded wiring can be a hidden fire hazard. Keep an eye out for:
- Flickering lights.
- Warm outlets or plugs.
- A burning smell near appliances.
Don’t ignore these. It’s worth calling an electrician to check things out—better safe than sorry.
Cook Smart
Kitchen fires are super common, but also super preventable. A few tips:
- Never leave the stove unattended, even for a quick minute.
- Keep flammable stuff (like dish towels and paper towels) away from burners.
- Clean up grease buildup—it can catch fire surprisingly fast.
And hey, if you do ever have a grease fire, don’t throw water on it. Cover it with a lid or use a fire extinguisher.
Fire safety doesn’t have to be complicated—it just takes a little awareness and a few smart habits. Taking a few minutes today could save a lot down the road.
