Don't let this be your home.. Fire Safety is key to keep your home and family safe.

Most often we only think about Fire Safety in the winter months but it’s also important when preparing for Spring! Protecting your home and family from fire any fire hazard should always be a priority.

As you begin your spring cleaning – check you filters although you may change them monthly switching from heat to air conditioning can cause more dust and debris in your filters so change them prior to keeping your home cool when the temperatures start to rise.

Check your batteries in your smoke detectors – if you can’t remember the last time you changed them – then now is a good time to do it.  Use a sharpie and write the month and year on the battery. This will be your reminder because let’s face it most of us can’t remember what we did yesterday much less months ago.

If you haven’t fired up the grill all winter make sure to give it a good cleaning prior grilling out – check for bird’s nest that may have set up a residence while you were cooped up inside.

The temperatures are warming up and Spring is near, but so is the next house fire if you are not careful.
