OCTOBER is Fire Prevention Month!

Today marks the anniversary of the first day of The Great Chicago Fire of 1871, which took about 300 lives and 100,000 homes, and the Peshtigo fire of 1871, claiming approximately 1,200 lives.

To honor the fallen and the many victims, we remind everyone that fire safety is one of the most critical aspects of protecting your family, your home, and your business. Today is the perfect time to take 10 minutes and run through this quick safety checklist:

🔥 Test Smoke & CO Detectors: Replace batteries or replace unit if older than 10 years.

🚪 Establish Escape Routes: Ensure all family members or employees know two ways out of every room.

🧯 Check Extinguishers: Confirm your fire extinguishers are easily accessible and fully charged.

🔌Unapproved chargers or improper charging habits can pose a major fire risk! See safe charging tips below from the National Fire Protection Association.

Insurance Check-In: Property damage from battery fires can be devastating for both homeowners and businesses. Reviewing your property limits ensures you're properly protected against unforeseen risks. Reach out to our team for a quick policy check! 712-374-2645

As the leaves change, business risks shift too! 🍂🏢

Autumn brings cooler weather, wet leaves on walkways, and early dusk—all of which can impact your business operations and premises liability. Here are 3 quick steps every business owner should take this week:

1️⃣ Clear Walkways: Keep entryways leaf- and moisture-free to prevent slip-and-fall claims.

2️⃣ Inspect HVAC & Roofing: Ensure heating systems are serviced before the first freeze.

3️⃣ Review Coverage Limits: Has your business added equipment, inventory, or employees this year?

As an independent agency, we shop multiple top-rated carriers to find tailored coverage for your specific operations. Let’s do a quick autumn policy checkup!
