How To Prevent Fire Damage To My Nashville Home

9/22/2021 (Permalink)

Few things in this world are scarier than fire damage, and the aftermath evokes painful memories. To prevent life-changing fire damage from happening, you have to exercise caution and learn the necessary safety precautions. This is so that the heartbreak of losing your Nashville home doesn’t happen again. 

What Are Some Preventative Measures I Can Take To Keep My Nashville Home Fire-Safe? 

• Test your fire and smoke alarms every month! In today’s busy world, where it seems like we are doing a million things at once, it can be easy for a small detail like checking the smoke alarms to slip our minds. But a small detail like that can make a big difference! Making routine checks and changing your smoke alarm batteries helps in the long run. 

• Measure carbon monoxide levels! While carbon monoxide doesn’t damage your home as a fire does, it can be dangerous when released from burning carbon materials. It is an odorless, colorless gas that releases from burning wood, natural gas, coal, and heating oil. When you use the fireplace carelessly or leave something on the stove unattended, you increase the chances of fire and carbon monoxide poisoning in your Nashville home. It would be wise to get a dual-sensor carbon monoxide and smoke detector to stay safe from a fire this fall. 
• Practice safe habits! Be responsible around candles, don't smoke indoors, and refrain from closing bedroom doors at night.
