Five Must-Haves for Kitchen Safety

Monday, August 16th, 2010

The kitchen is one of the most used rooms in any home, but it also contains many hazards. Make sure to keep these items in your kitchen to promote home security and safety.

  1. Oven mitts: Never move hot items from the oven, stove or microwave without oven mitts.
  2. Fire extinguisher: In the case of a small fire, use an extinguisher rather than water. Water will only feed grease fires that are typical of kitchens.
  3. Smoke detectors: Make sure any smoke, carbon monoxide or heat sensors that come with home alarm systems are up-to-date and have working batteries.
  4. Antibacterial soap: Always wash your hands before you eat, and before and after handling germy food like raw meat and eggs.
  5. Blade guards: These simple, inexpensive devices can help guard your hand from cuts while using a knife.

Fire Pit Safety Tips

Monday, July 19th, 2010

It’s easy to keep the party going  even after the sun sets with an outdoor fire pit. But take extra care in tending to the fire because indoor smoke detectors and ADT heat sensors won’t alert you to a fire outdoors. The interior of your home has the added protection of a home alarm system – keep the exterior of your home safe with these fire pit safety tips:

  • Stake out a good spot: Place the pit on a level surface made of concrete, brick or stone that is at least 10 feet away from your house and other structures.
  • Use proper fuel: Burn dry wood that was cut at least six months ago.
  • Ignite safely: Don’t use gas, kerosene or lighter fluid to start the fire.
  • Douse out: Keep a fire extinguisher (dry chemical extinguisher), or a bucket of water or sand to douse the fire in case of an emergency or when you’re ready to head inside.
