How To Keep Home Fires From Burning
(NAPSA)—More
than
350,000 fi res occur each
year and often in the homes
of seniors. In fact, older
adults are consistently more
threatened with death or
injury by fi re than any other
age group—but you can
keep your home safe by fol-
lowing these safety tips.
Heating Safety
• Keep anything that can
burn at least three feet
away from heating equip-
ment.
• Don’t use your stove for
heating.
• Don’t dry clothes on a
space heater.
• Have your heating system
inspected by a qualifi ed
service professional at
least once a year.
• Make sure all fuel-burning
heating equipment is
vented to the outside.
• Keep intake and output
vents clean and clear of
debris and dust.
Space Heaters
• Inspect heaters for cracked
or broken plugs or loose
connections before each
use. If anything is frayed,
worn or damaged, don’t
use the heater.
• Place space heaters on
level, fl at surfaces and out
of high-traffi c areas and
doorways.
• Plug portable space heat-
ers directly into an outlet;
don’t use an extension
cord.
• Keep space heaters at least
three feet away from any-
thing fl ammable.
• Never leave a space heater
unattended. Turn it off
when you leave the room
hearing can get alarms
that make low-pitched
sounds or vibrations.
Electrical Safety
• Call an electrician if you
see a discolored wall plate,
smell burning, or hear
a crackling or buzzing
sound from wall switches
or receptacles.
• Never plug two extension
cords into each other.
• Make sure all appliances
are plugged directly into a
receptacle.
• Don’t run extension cords
through walls or door-
ways.
• Don’t cover cords.
• Avoid nailing or stapling
cords.
• Don’t substitute extension
cords for permanent wir-
ing.
• Have a licensed electrician
install an arc fault circuit
interrupter (AFCI) circuit
breaker or receptacle. AF-
CIs can prevent 50 percent
of home fi res.
• Make sure all appliances
have been approved by a
nationally approved test-
ing laboratory.
• Have your home inspected
by a licensed electrician
every 10 years to deter-
mine if you have the prop-
er electrical equipment.

Fireplaces and Wood Stoves
• Have your chimney or
wood stove inspected an-
nually by a certifi ed chim-
ney specialist.
• Use a fi replace screen to
stop sparks from fl ying
into the room.
• Never leave an open fl ame
unattended.
Cooking
• Unattended cooking is the
leading cause of home
fi res. If you have to leave,
even for a short time, turn
off the stove.
• Wear short, close-fi tting
or tightly rolled sleeves
when cooking.
• Keep the stove top and
oven clean and free of
grease and oil.
• Keep all fl ammable mate-
rial away from heating
elements.
• Keep towels and pot hold-
ers away from hot sur-
faces.
• Turn pot handles in.
Smoke and Carbon
Monoxide Alarms
• Place alarms inside each
bedroom, outside each
sleeping area and on ev-
ery level of your home.
• Don’t put alarms near
windows or ducts where
drafts might interfere with
their effectiveness.
• Never paint smoke alarms.
• Test them at least once a
month and change the
batteries at least once a
year.
• Keep smoke alarms at least
10 feet away from cooking
appliances to minimize
false alarms.
