Home Safety

Make sure your house is as safe as possible by following these few simple guidelines.

Install smoke detectors on each level of your home and change batteries every six months. Smoke detectors should be installed within 15 feet of all bedrooms (state law). The detector should be placed so it will be easily heard in all sleeping areas and should be installed according to manufacturer's instructions.
Clear hallways and exits for easy evacuation.
Keep an ABC type fire extinguisher accessible. Make sure you know how and when to use it.
Store flammable or highly reactive chemicals securely and separately from each other.
Know how and when to switch off your utilities.
Keep utility company emergency phone numbers in one place near the telephone.
Install carbon monoxide detectors on each level of your home and change batteries every six months. Carbon monoxide detectors should be installed within 15 feet of all bedrooms (state law). The carbon monoxide detector should be placed so it will be easily heard in all sleeping areas and should be installed according to manufacturer's instructions.
