Do the Safe Thing  

Home Safe Home

Do a simple inspection inside your home to keep yourself and your family safe. Look for these hazards:

• Overloaded outlets
• Worn or frayed power cords
• Power cords running under rugs or furniture legs
• Appliances used near water without GFCI protection
• Circuit breakers that trip or fuses that blow often
• Heaters or lightbulbs close to anything that can burn
• Flammable liquids or other materials stored close to appliances

Every home should have smoke detectors to alert you in case of fire. Make sure you also have a multipurpose (Class C) fire extinguisher in the house, preferably in the kitchen.
