“We didn’t start the Fire” – But what did?. This fire safety week let's focus on preventing fires in our homes by taking a few steps to stop them before they start.
We work day and night to create a warm and cozy home for ourselves and our families. Yet, amidst the comfort and peace, fire safety often takes a backseat in our busy lives.
We at Ted Johnsons have created a fire safety checklist to help Irish homeowners in emergencies.
1. Smoke Alarms: Installing a smoke alarm is important for early fire detection. This will alert you about the fire before it spreads. Remember to check the batteries of your smoke alarms regularly.
2. Fire Extinguishers & Blankets: A must-have equipment to gain versatility in responding to different types and sizes of fires. Fire extinguishers are suitable for larger or multi-class fires whereas fire blankets are ideal for quickly smothering small fires. Make sure you have one installed it in your home.
3. Carbon Monoxide Alarms: We often miss out on the presence of invisible, odorless, and potentially deadly gases around us. Carbon Monoxide Alarms are perfect for detecting these gases and especially for homes with fuel-burning appliances.
4. Fire Guards: As we enter the fall season and begin to rely more on fireplaces, stoves, and heaters to make our place warm & cozy, a fire guard is an essential safety feature to add to our homes.
This week make sure you have the right products for a safer home. At Ted Johnsons, we are committed to helping Irish homeowners stay safe.
Remember, fire safety is everyone’s responsibility. Taking proactive measures today will ensure your home remains a safe, warm haven for your family.
Stay prepared, stay safe!
