We all had classes on fire safety. Growing up in Attleboro, parents, guardians, and teachers told us to stay away from fire and to use caution so as not to cause a fire in your home or school. Fire spreads quickly and substantially, so it is imperative to know exactly what to do when faced with it. With the warm summer months upon us, it's time for many to get their aprons on and grille for the family! Keep these reminders in mind at your next North Attleboro July 4th rendezvous! 

The key tips to practice total fire safety:

1. Install smoke alarms on every level of your home where there are children, adults, and pets.
2. It only takes less than 3 minutes for fire to spread and grow, so get out while you can!
3. Remember if you have battery powered smoke alarms to replace the battery each year or when it is advised by the manufacturer. 
4. Check the condition of your smoke alarm periodically, and change after a few years (10 at most).
5. Remember to TEST YOUR SMOKE ALARMS periodically throughout the year.
6. To prevent "false alarms" (pun intended) dust around your smoke alarm regularly to remove any lingering particles.
7. If you have a new fire alarm, be sure it abides by the National Fire Alarm Code standards.
8. Fire sprinklers in your home might be a good idea, so that's a safety measure worth considering.
