It\u2019s important to understand household fires, how they often start, and what you can do to protect yourself and your loved ones.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Reduce the Risk of Fire<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Fires devastate families with injuries and loss of lives, and financial burdens are staggering, as well. Nonetheless, there are ways you can decrease the risk of fire.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>12 Ways to Reduce The Risk of Fire in Seniors&#8217; Homes:<\/strong><\/h3>\n<ol>\n<li>Install smoke alarms on each level of a home, inside and outside of any sleeping areas.<\/li>\n<li>Test the home smoke alarms at least once a month. Replace batteries at least once a year.<\/li>\n<li>Discard old smoke alarms over 10 years old.<\/li>\n<li>Stay in the room when cooking. Don\u2019t leave the kitchen without turning off burners and appliances, especially when frying, grilling, or broiling.<\/li>\n<li>Have a fire extinguisher easily located in the kitchen area.<\/li>\n<li>Extinguish burning candles before leaving a room or preparing for sleep.<\/li>\n<li>Hide or lock up any matches and lighters.<\/li>\n<li>Check any electrical cords for cracks and replace them if damaged.<\/li>\n<li>Keep heaters more than 3 feet from furniture, curtains, bedding, etc.<\/li>\n<li>Ask family or friends who smoke to light up outside and provide them with sturdy, deep ashtrays.<\/li>\n<li>Make a detailed family plan for fire escape and rehearse it at least 2 times a year.<\/li>\n<li>Remember that if a fire does occur, get yourself out of the building, then call for help.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Sadly, many times, home fires could have been prevented.
