In honor of Fire Prevention Week, here are 3 tips to help prevent fire:
1. Avoid unattended or careless use of candles.
2. Do not disable smoke or CO detectors. These are life saving devices that will give you an early warning to a life threatening event.
3. Do not leave your cooking unattended. Cooking is the number one cause of residential fires. Unattended cooking increases the chance of a stove top fire. Watch what you heat and never overheat cooking oils.
Pro Tip: Adjust the vacuum beater brush to proper pile height to agitate just the tips of the carpet fibers and break up soils.

5 Dangers of Deep Frying a Turkey
-Turkey fryers can easily tip over, spilling hot cooking oil over a large area or surface.
-An over-filled cooking pot can cause cooking oil to spill or splatter when the turkey is placed in the pot.
-Even a small amount of cooking oil spilling on a hot burner can cause a large fire.
-Without thermostat controls, deep fryers can overheat cooking oil to the point of igniting a fire.
-The sides of the cooking pot, lid, and pot handles can get dangerously hot
If you experience a major water loss or flooding, never turn on electrical appliances that have been exposed to water. Repairs to electrical wiring must be performed by a pro.

It's Burn Awareness Week. This week gives us the opportunity to educate our community on the importance of fire safety. Tips to avoid burns:
-Keep hot foods and liquids away from table and counter edges. Keep hot liquids away from babies and small children. Put drinks and soups in the center of the table away from curious fingers.
-Use the back burners of the stove top to prevent children from reaching up and touching hot pots and pans. Turn pot and pan handles toward the back of the stove so they cannot be easily reached or tipped.
-Be sure to turn off unattended hot appliances such as irons or hair straighteners. Turn off hot items such as heating pads or blankets off before going to sleep.
-Don’t wear loose clothing near fire, grills or stoves.
You may see or smell mold on clothing, drywall, furniture, cardboard boxes, or books, but it may also be hidden under or behind items like carpet, cushions, or walls.
