Do you know that a serious fire accident can burn your entire house or building in minutes?
Thousands of people die in fire accidents all over the globe annually. Fire accidents are more common in homes than any other place. Here are a few tips that can avoid all this.
Clean your chimneys: Matter like creosote residue can clog your chimney and catch fire. Your chimney should be inspected and cleaned regularly. Use a cap to prevent debris clogging the flue.
Flammable Liquids: These should be kept in well ventilated areas and securely sealed in appropriate containers.
Furnaces: Gas furnaces should be inspected periodically for cracks in burners and heat exchangers. Also, furnace filters must be replaced periodically to prevent the furnace from overheating.
Over loaded circuits: Too many appliances connected to a single outlet or circuit overloads the circuit wiring, which may lead to short-circuits.
Refrigerator: Clean the coils which are typically accessible under the unit. When coils become coated with dust, their cooling ability diminishes. Overheating can cause an electrical fire.
Smoke detectors: Place a smoke detector outside each room.
Stoves: Never leave a stove on or even unattended. This is another cause for fire damages in houses.
Wiring should be proper: All inside wiring should be properly insulated. Faulty wiring can cause fire damage instantly. A qualified specialist is required when handling/undertaking such work.
Clothes dryers: Ensure vents and filters are cleared from any accumulation which can cause dryers to overheat.
