How Do I Prevent Fires This Winter At My Bloomville Location?

Practicing fire safety keeps you and your loved ones safe during winter in Bloomville:

• Only burn appropriate items in your wood-burning fireplace.
• Never leave a portable heating unit running when no one is in the room, and be sure all units are turned off when leaving the home.
• Cords for all heating units need to be in good working order; replace any that are frayed or splitting immediately.
• Ensure outlets aren’t overloaded; this is one of the primary causes of fire in a home. 
• Anyone who uses the kitchen should be fully aware of cooking safely. Children should be accompanied by an adult when baking or cooking.
• Christmas tree lights should be turned off when the household is sleeping. Ensure a live tree doesn’t get too dry.
