Fires can happen when you least expect them, and being prepared can make all the difference. At SERVPRO of Coppell/West Addison, we want to help our community stay safe by sharing some essential fire safety tips. Whether it’s in the kitchen, living room, or outdoors, taking a few precautions can significantly reduce your risk.

1. Install and Maintain Smoke AlarmsSmoke alarms are your first line of defense against house fires. Make sure you have smoke alarms installed on every level of your home, particularly near bedrooms. Test them monthly and replace the batteries at least once a year.

2. Create a Fire Escape PlanA well-practiced escape plan can save lives. Map out two exit routes from each room and designate a safe meeting spot outside your home. Make sure everyone in the household knows the plan and practices it regularly.

3. Be Cautious with CookingThe kitchen is the most common place for house fires. Never leave cooking unattended, and keep flammable items away from the stove. In the event of a grease fire, do not use water to extinguish it – cover the pan with a lid to smother the flames.

4. Check Electrical SystemsFaulty wiring and overloaded outlets can easily lead to fires. Inspect cords and outlets regularly, and avoid using extension cords as permanent solutions. If you notice flickering lights or frequently tripped breakers, consult an electrician.

5. Keep a Fire Extinguisher HandyHaving a fire extinguisher readily available can help you put out small fires before they spread. Make sure everyone in your household knows where it’s located and how to use it.
