Fire safety starts with the habits we build at home.
During Fire Prevention Month, take a few minutes to review the essentials:
• Test smoke alarms monthly and replace alarms that are 10 years old or older.
• Keep an eye on cooking and keep flammable items away from heat sources.
• Create and practice an escape plan with two exits from each room.
• Keep a fire extinguisher accessible and remember PASS: Pull, Aim, Squeeze, Sweep.
• Avoid overloaded outlets, damaged cords, and unattended space heaters.
A little preparation can make a meaningful difference. For fire-safety guidance, contact your local fire department. If you would like to review whether your home insurance coverage fits your needs, our team at Harms Insurance Agency, Inc. is here to help.
