🍂 FALL SAFETY 🍂
🔥 Home Heating Safety
Have your furnace, chimney, and heating equipment inspected and serviced before the colder weather arrives.
Keep space heaters at least 3 feet away from furniture, curtains, and other combustible materials.
Never leave space heaters running unattended or while sleeping.
🍁 Leaf & Outdoor Fire Safety
Keep fallen leaves and dry vegetation away from your home, outdoor equipment, and heating vents.
Never park vehicles over piles of leaves or dry grass, as hot exhaust systems can start a fire.
Follow local regulations regarding outdoor burning. Never burn leaves or yard debris where prohibited.
🔋 Smoke & Carbon Monoxide Alarm Safety
Test all smoke and carbon monoxide alarms monthly to ensure they are working properly.
Replace smoke alarms that are 10 years old and carbon monoxide alarms according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Make sure your home has working carbon monoxide alarms as heating systems are used more frequently.
🕯️ Fall Decorations & Candle Safety
Keep candles away from decorations, curtains, and other flammable materials.
Consider battery-operated candles for pumpkins and seasonal decorations.
Inspect outdoor extension cords and decorative lighting for damage, and only use products rated for outdoor use.
