The holidays are a joyful time spent with family and friends cherishing our shared time and memories. But they can also be dangerous if you're not managing your home safety seasonally or annually. We want you to enjoy your holidays without having to think twice about your home's safety.
Winter has a way of drying our homes like no other season. Between running a furnace 24/7, using our fireplaces as a source of warmth, leaving candles glowing all day long, and bringing a dry, flammable tree as a decoration for weeks at a time, our homes can quickly become targets for fires.
Keep everyone in your home safe and change the batteries in your smoke detectors. The holidays pose as the perfect annual reminder to change your batteries as well. Simply find a sturdy ladder, twist your smoke detector, and release the pin to free your detector from the ceiling. Depending on how old your smoke detector is, your batteries may be located on the top or on the side.
