Fire safety is an all the time concern for everyone or it should be. Fires are one of the top reasons for accidental deaths and property damage. In fact, it’s much easier to prevent a fire than to cope with the after effects of a fire. Everyone should have powder fire extinguisher in their home and all the family should know how to use it. Make sure it is in working order. Your local fire company should be able to tell you if it is properly filled. Fire safety is of utmost importance in the wintertime because furnaces are one leading cause of fires.
