Fire Prevention Week 2019

Make a Fire Protection Plan!

National Fire Prevention Week is October 6-12, 2019. This year the National Fire Protection Association says, "not every hero wears a cape" and wants you to plan and practice your escape in case of an emergency.

Time is crucial when there is a fire so it's great to talk through a plan with your family and practice your escape so you'll be well prepared.

3Rs Construction has a few simple tips to keep your home safe:

• Install smoke alarms throughout your home and check them regularly
• Keep a fire extinguisher in your kitchen
• Keep heaters and candles away from combustible decor
• Never leave candles burning at night or when you are away
• Be prepared with a family escape plan

Sad to say, unexpected disasters do happen. According to the NFPA, fire is often caused by appliances and equipment, electrical, fireworks, smoking, and more. It’s important to practice good home maintenance to reduce the risk of fire.

If a fire has affected your home, most likely water damage is a problem too. Find a trusted general contractor like 3Rs Construction & Remodeling to help you work through the details of restoration.
