HOME SAFETY STARTS WITH YOU!

Get Your Free Smoke Alarm Installed.
Have a working smoke alarm installed outside every bedroom and on every level of the home and check batteries to be sure they are working. Call us, we will check them for you!

If a cooking fire starts in a pan, don't panic & don't use water to put the fire out. Put the pan lid on the fire & turn the burner off. Don't move the pan!

Practice Family Escape Plans, know two ways out of each room and have a family meeting place.

Post reflective address signs so emergency responders can find you.

This is also a great time to maintain your defensible space. It is everyone's responsibility to be fire wise, it takes a community to be fire safe.
