There are more and more fires everyday and most people could have stopped the fire with a fire extinguisher and didn't have one at the time. Most houses come with a fire extinguisher if you rent, because it’s a law you must have one. Although, some people don't know these rules and forget to have them. I have one in the kitchen for grease fires and one in the living room for other fires.

Strangers can be killers, robbers and sometimes endanger your kids. You should always be careful with who you allow in your home. Even people claiming they are officers or DCF to get in your home to you or your child. Always ask for badges and ID's. If you take a stranger home always keep a eye on them to make sure they are safe or just say no to strangers.

Fire exit plans save families every day. Do you remember fire drills and why you had them every month in school? Well, they did that for you to know where to go and where the teacher needs to take you out of the school for safety. You can do this easily in your home for a fire. Always go over it with your family and make pictures to where to go in case a fire hits.

You should always practice safety in your own home, to avoid your kids from being hurt or yourself. Always make sure what you're doing is safe and won't harm you. Do you keep your home safe for your family?
