• Be careful when cooking and never leave stoves, ranges, and other such appliances unattended while fixing meals.
• Buy and place appropriately rated fire extinguishers in your kitchen so they are readily available if a fire breaks out.
• Always be mindful if you smoke cigarettes or cigars and never leave them unattended or fall asleep while smoking.
• Install a sprinkler system in your home to address potential house fires early, before they can cause extensive damage
• Properly maintain the area around your home, clearing away fallen leaves and trimming trees and bushes growing too near your residence.
