At the
FireSafeStore, we hope you never have to
test the protection of your fireproof safe
but
consider this : in 2002, in the United States there were 389,000 reported home fires.
|
A fireproof
safe is one way you can prevent
total loss of important property.
Consider this statistic....there was
$5.9 billion in direct property damage
in the home fires reported in 2002.

We hope that the following information drawn
from the National Fire Protection
Association will help you do a fire safety
check up of your home.
Cooking is the leading cause of home fires and home fire injuries year-round. The leading cause of fatal home fires was smoking. However, in December, January and February, smoking and heating equipment caused similar shares of fire deaths.
Below are just a few things you should check in your home that can help you avoid a fire.
Cooking
- Keep young children and pets away from the
stove even if it means keeping the door to the
kitchen
closed or installing a gate.
- Always have a fire extinguisher in the
kitchen.
- Keep combustible material away from your
cooking area -- kitchen towels, food wrappers,
etc.
- Do not leave the kitchen when there is food
cooking on the stove top and carefully watch
food
cooking in the oven.
- Keep pot handles turned in toward the stove so
they are less likely to be bumped.
- Avoid cooking while wearing loose clothing and
especially loose long sleeves. Loose clothing
can
dangle onto stove burners and catch fire.
Children
- Matches and lighters should be stored where
children cannot see or reach them... locking
them
up is the best option.
- If you use lighters, buy ones with
child-resistant features.
