I hope the fall season is off to a great start for you. As the weather cools down, we often find ourselves spending more time indoors. When we use our heaters, ovens, and light candles more often, the risk of a house fire increases.
October 5 - 11 is Fire Prevention Week, making this a great time to review fire prevention strategies. In this month’s newsletter, you’ll find helpful reminders and tips to protect your home and real estate investment. Since the majority of fires are preventable, it's worth reviewing how protected your home is from a fire to ensure that you are doing everything you can to keep you, your loved ones, and your home safe.
Reach out anytime if you have questions about your home, Regina’s real estate market, or just to say hello and catch up.
Until next month!

Keeping Your Home Safe From a Fire | | |
Fire Safety Awareness Month is a reminder to us all of everything we need to do around our homes to help prevent a tragedy from happening. Here are some reminders: |
|
- Test your smoke detectors monthly, replace if they are expired, swap out batteries every spring and fall, ensure you have one on every floor and in every bedroom.
- Don’t leave cooking or burning candles unattended.
- Keep flammables away from heat, such as cooking oil.
- Keep a fire extinguisher in your kitchen and ensure that members of your household know how to use it.
- Empty your dryer lint trap after every use and clean your dryer vent annually.
- Avoid plugging more than one appliance into each outlet (and make sure it's grounded).
- Don’t plug extension cords or power bars together; instead, plug them directly into a grounded outlet.
- Have heating systems, including chimneys, serviced and cleaned annually.
- Keep lighters and matches away from children.
- Keep potting soil moist, which can be highly flammable, especially when dry. Store it in a cool, dry place away from heat sources.
- Replace damaged electrical cords.
Even with all the preventative measures in place, tragedies can still happen, so it’s also important to have a fire escape plan in place and review it with members of your household twice a year. Keeping an escape ladder handy can also be a lifesaver if other exits are blocked by smoke or fire. | |
