Each time I cook and get my kitchen a little too smoky, the smoke alarm in my house goes off. While I am always annoyed at the alarm ringing, standing there fanning smoke out the open door and opening every window, I must remind myself how grateful I am for the life saving device in my kitchen if something were to really go wrong.

 

According to the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) someone in the United States dies in a house fire every three hours, averaging approximately 3,000 deaths each year.  Arm yourself with the right equipment to help prevent a small self-contained fire from spreading out of control.

 

Don’t be a statistic. Be Safe.

 

Here are a few tips that can help shield your family from danger at home.

 

  • Replace Smoke Alarms every 10 years
  • Place a fire extinguisher within reach on every level of your home
  • Install carbon monoxide alarms on each floor and near bedrooms
  • Create an escape plan with your family
