Now that the summer months are here, there are some things to remember so you are careful and don’t create any unnecessary fires.

Now that the summer months are here, there are some things to remember so you are careful and don’t create any unnecessary fires:

• Grilling Safety: Make sure to regularly remove grease or fat buildup from the trays. Never leave a grill unattended.

• Lawn Mower Care Follow the manufacturer’s recommended maintenance plan for your mowing equipment. Make sure to remove debris and grass clippings from cutting units and engines. 

• Gas Storage: Do not store gasoline, liquid fire starter, propane, or any other type of flammable liquids near a grill. Store any sort of flammable liquid in a well-ventilated area outdoors. 

• HVAC Maintenance: Annual inspections of your air conditioner system can prevent a house fire. Dust can settle in places that can cause short circuits and other electrical malfunctions. This could lead to an air conditioning fire.

• Alarm Inspection: Make sure to check your smoke detectors and/or carbon monoxide detectors regularly; this is one of the best fire prevention methods.
