Stay Safe with Space Heater Best Practices As temperatures drop, space heaters are a convenient way to keep warm, but they also come with safety risks. The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) reports that heating equipment is a leading cause of fires, with an average of 44,210 home structure fires each year from 2016 to 2020. Whether you’re at home, at work, or in the deer stand, follow these essential guidelines: • Inspect Before Each Use: Check the heater and cord for any signs of damage before plugging it in. • Maintain Safe Clearance: Keep heaters at least 3 feet away from anything combustible, like paper, curtains, or furniture. • Supervision Required: Never leave a space heater running unattended or while sleeping. • Use Direct Power: Always plug heaters directly into wall outlets, not into extension cords or power strips. Stay warm and safe by using space heaters responsibly! #SpaceHeaterSafety #FirePrevention #NFPA #SafetyTops

Fire Prevention Week – Part 4 🔥 Carbon Monoxide Detectors – If you have a fuel-burning appliance (e.g. a gas furnace, water heater or stove), there should be a carbon monoxide detector on every level of your home. Same as with smoke alarms, these should be tested regularly. Check the manufacturer’s instructions for details of when they should be replaced. Flammable Outside Debris 🍂 – Dead leaves and other debris should be regularly cleared from around your home to maintain a fire-resistant zone. It is often advised to keep shrubs, trees and firewood at least 30 feet away from buildings on your property. Fire-resistant materials can be used for landscaping. Tumble Dryers 🧺 – Before every load of laundry, clean the lint filter of your tumble dryer, as lint buildup can lead to fires. The dryer vent needs to be properly installed so that it directs airflow outside the home rather than into an attic or crawl space. Inspect this periodically. #FirePreventionWeek #FirePreventionTips #CarbonMonoxide #FireResistance #TumbleDryers

When converting your basement into a legal apartment, safety should be a top priority. One critical feature is installing a duct smoke detector. In the event of smoke, this device automatically shuts down your furnace, preventing the spread of smoke throughout the house via your duct system—potentially saving lives. Additionally, consider sprinklers in the furnace room, as required in many building codes. These added layers of protection ensure your basement apartment not only meets safety standards but also provides peace of mind for you and your tenants. #HomeSafety #BasementRenovation #FirePrevention #SafetyFirst

A sprinkler system needs a zone map to ensure that each area of your yard receives the correct amount of water, and to avoid wasting water. When I inspect a home this is always missing. Do yourself a favor and test each zone and place a zone map right inside the sprinkler system door. Trec #25446
