House Hazards
1.
Deadbolts that require a key to unlock inside the house should have
the key inserted at all times. These types of locks should be
replaced as soon as possible because they will prevent people from leaving the building during an
emergency.
2.
Never leave an iron unattended while it is on. As an extra
precaution, unplug an iron that is not in use.
3.
Don't use stairwells, hallways and other thoroughfares for storage.
4.
Don't lock safety gates on windows.
5.
Never leave cooking food unattended. Overheated oil
and grease can easily start a fire.
6. Know
where all of your flammable liquids, aerosol cans, propane tanks,
etc are stored. This knowledge is important to the fire department.
7.
If you have a fire hydrant in or near your yard please help us by
keeping the area around it free of obstacles. This is especially
true during the winter immediately after the streets are plowed.
8.
Raised porches should not be used as flammable storage areas.
9.
When possible, do not store an extra propane tank next to your gas
grill on the porch.
