Always turn off sockets and put off any heated equipment when not in use
Most fire outbreaks are caused by minor mistakes such as forgetting to turn off a socket, leaving the cooker or flat iron on.These are appliances that we use so often that we forget how much harm it can cause if not handled with extra caution.
It is always better to be safe than sorry so it shouldn’t hurt to double check whenever you are stepping out of the house or going to bed to ensure that everything is in place and out of harm’s way.
Fire extinguishers
These are very essential in ensuring fire safety. Fire extinguishers are the first solution to prevent any harm in case of a breakout. It’s always wise to set up fire extinguishers in essential areas that may be most prone to fire breakouts for example the kitchen, bathrooms or places that have electrical appliances. Extinguishers are easy to use and helpful in preventing major damage in your home.
Fire alarmsand smoke detectors
Smoke detectors are helpful in detecting the smoke before the fire erupts so that it can be curbed before causing any major damage. Fire alarms are able to help in detecting the fire early enough so that other measures can be implemented so that safety is ensured before any major damages arise.
Insurance
Another helpful tip is to get your property and house insured against fires. Insuarance may be costly on a monthly basis but will benefit you in the long run incase of any fires because the insurance will help you retrieve any property you may have lost in the fire.
Have a fire escape plan
Members of the household should always be informed about what to do when a fire begins, they should be aware of where exactly the fire escape exit is and the easiest way they can access it incase of a fire outbreak.

- Restrain from overloading electrical circuits as this may lead to short circuits.
- Donot run extension cables below carpets. These wear out easily and cause a short circuit leading to a fire.
- Put candles on candle stands or other metallic stands and not plastic or paper as these can easily cause a fire.
Always check ashtrays before emptying them into a trash can as they may contain some fire particle that could eventually erupt into an actual flame and lead to a fire outbreak.
