Do
Not Overload your electric outlets - an electrical
outlet, extension cord or a power strip is only capable
of handling a certain amount of power safely!! Overloading
it can cause a fire!
Keep
a fire extinguisher nearby - while it is important
to have an extinguisher handy, 911 or the fire department
should also be called, a small fire becomes a big fire
very fast! Remember to get out if it's beyond your means!!
All
fuses should be the right size - all fuses are set
for a certain size, placing the wrong sized fuse is
dangerous and can cause fire by overloading! If you're
not sure what the right size is, call DTE or an electrician!
Never
leave cooking unattended - many fires start in the
kitchen, often with a careless cook! If you leave the
cooking unattended you lose the time to stop the burning
before it becomes a fire!
Never
put water on a grease fire - the water intensifies
the fire when it hits the burning grease!
Have
your furnace inspected annually - are you safe from
a Carbon Monoxide build up? Are you sure? The small
price for an inspection is worth it!
do
not run electric cords under carpeting - what you
can't see can hurt you! The hidden wire can break or
fray or become a trip hazard!
Check
electric cords for frays or cracks - a small hole
can cause big damage! make sure to unplug before checking.
