HOME SAFETY TIPS


Remove boxes, newspapers, electrical cords, and phone cords from walkways and stairs. Move coffee tables and magazine racks and plant stands from walkways.


Keep medicine, cleaning detergents, and detergent pods in their container in high places where children can’t see them.


Store oily and solvent-wet rags in a tightly sealed metal container and then discard them.



Keep oil-based paints and flammable and combustible solvents in their original containers and tightly capped. Never store them in breakable glass containers.






Here is a good video from the Red Cross, on How to Prevent a Home Fire







Always dial 9-1-1 immediately for ALL fire, police, and medical emergencies
