Even if there is no bodily injury, a fire in your home can cause extreme financial disaster. In just minutes, everything you've worked so hard to accumulate can be lost. Whether you are a homeowner or a renter, if you don't have an insurance policy, you could find yourself without a place to live if disaster strikes.
Sadly, most fires that occur can be prevented. There are a few simple things you should do to prevent a fire in your house. Follow these steps to help keep your house safe:
- clean clothes dryer vents regularly;
- keep flammable objects away from your stove while cooking;
- have electrical wiring in older dwellings examined;
- repair or replace any faulty appliances;
- make sure curtains, clothing and blankets are kept away from heating appliances;
- blow out candles when you leave a room for any period of time;
- clean fireplaces regularly to prevent chimney fires; and
- install smoke detectors and change the batteries regularly.
By reducing the potential causes of fire, you are making your home safer for you and your family and protecting your possessions. You can't eliminate all fire risks, so it makes sense to cover your assets with an insurance policy.
