DID YOU KNOW?

• Texas experiences about 10,200 fires a year?

THAT’S SCARY but to help prevent a few fires this year, here’s some tips you can follow when the weather starts dropping a bit more:

• Space heaters
  • Space heaters are suggested highly with the reason that if tipped over they shut off on their own
  • They shouldn’t be placed to close to any blankets or curtains
  • Do also place space heater ON tile or ceramic flooring. assure that when turned on they are NOT on top of any carpets and/or rugs.
• Fire alarms
  • We all know that fire alarms are the #1 MUST HAVES to help prevent fires
  • Assure that there is one in each room of the house
  • Test your devices yearly and replace batteries as needed.
