Prepare your home for cold weather
Things to think about...
- Inspect and clean fireplaces and chimneys:
Have them inspected and professionally cleaned before lighting your first fire of the season to prevent chimney fires. - Clear flammable debris:
Rake up leaves, twigs, and other flammable debris from your yard, gutters, and around your home's foundation. - Check heating equipment:
Ensure your home's heating equipment is in good working order, as this is a common cause of home fires, according to Security.org. - Store fuel properly:
Do not store fuel, like gasoline for lawnmowers, inside your home or garage
