Keeping Fire Extinguishers Accessible in Palos Heights Homes?

We are leaders in fire damage restoration services in Cook County.

Our local Orland Park team has been restoring fire damage in Palos Heights for many years. Residential Fire Awareness Month is a campaign focused on educating the public about fire safety and making sure everyone in the household is aware of how to stay safe in the event of a fire. This year's focus is home fire safety, emphasizing smoke alarms, fire extinguishers, and escape planning. The campaign encourages individuals and families to take action to reduce these risks.

Fire extinguishers are also a component of a sound fire safety plan. They are essential for quickly containing small fires before they spread out of control. During Residential Fire Awareness Month, it's an excellent time for homeowners to ensure they have working fire extinguishers in key areas of the home, such as the kitchen, garage, and near fireplaces.

Fire extinguishers should be accessible and checked monthly to ensure they are in good working condition. Homeowners should also know how to use the PASS method (Pull, Aim, Squeeze, Sweep) to extinguish fires and ensure everyone knows how to operate one. These simple steps can help prevent small fires from becoming devastating blazes.
