A huge fire destroyed a home.

Here are some Preventative tips:

Keep anything that can catch fire away from your stovetop.
Always unplug counter top alliances when not in use.
Make sure you have, and test, GFCI receptacles in your
kitchen to prevent shock and electrocution.
Double-check that everything is off when you finish cooking.
Prevent fires by keeping your oven and stovetop clean of grease and dust.
Never leave the kitchen while cooking.
Never cook while sleepy, drinking alcohol, or taking medication that makes you drowsy.
Never disable a smoke alarm while cooking.
Never use a cooking stove to heat your home.
Leaving candles unattended or placing them near flammable objects can result in fires if the flame spreads.
Do not overcrowd your plug sockets
Look out for frayed wires or cables before plugging them into a device
Install smoke alarms on every level of your home, inside bedrooms and outside sleeping areas.
Test smoke alarms every month. If they’re not working, change the batteries.
Talk with all family members and/or employees about a fire escape plan and practice the plan twice a year.
If a fire occurs in your home or business, GET OUT, STAY OUT and CALL FOR HELP. Never go back inside for anything or anyone.
