During winter months, heating equipment is the leading cause of home fires. About two-thirds of home heating fire deaths are caused by portable or fixed space heaters.
A fire safety and prevention tip to follow is to stay on top of your home electrical wiring system. Many fires also spark from faulty or dilapidated electrical wiring.
As electrical wires hide behind the walls, it might be hard to check on them. Here are some tips to help you keep your electrical wiring system in check:
● Have a professional inspect the wires in your home. Do this at least once a year.
● Replace faulty light bulbs in your house.
● Call a professional right away if you’re experiencing intermittent electricity.
● Don’t use exploded outlets.
