FIRE SAFTEY TIPS

Statistics from the U.S. Fire Administration show that one-fourth of all fires occur in residences. Our homes are perhaps the most vulnerable, and preventing a fire means being prepared and informed in the event of a fire. This begins with simply making sure you have working smoke detectors and fire escape plans for your family.
