Preparation for a Residential Fire

No one expects a fire in her/his home, but the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) reports that firefighters respond to residential fires approximately once every 63 seconds on average.

The most common cause is under-attended cooking, usually because experienced cooks try to multitask. We get it; there’s a lot of work to do at home and limited time to do it, but cooking requires your full attention, especially if it is on top of the stove or involves open flames.

According to the Red Cross, a combination of prevention and preparation is the best way to ensure your safety. Preparation includes:

• Use of smoke alarms
• Replace smoke alarm batteries at least 2/year
• Ensure that everyone in the home knows at least 2 ways to escape the building
• Teach children how to call 9-1-1
• Learn how to stop, drop and roll if clothing catches fire
• Keep fire extinguishers on-hand
• Remember that things are replaceable and you are not

If the worst happens and your home suffers from fire damage, call Charlottesville at 434-977-5850. We’re prepared.
