Next week is Fire Prevention Week (FPW), so it's a great time to stock up on fire safety essentials like smoke alarms and fire extinguishers. Hardware stores will be well-stocked with these and other fire safety-related products this coming weekend, and there will likely be some good deals to be had.FPW is organized by the National Fire Protection Association. The NFPA has an excellent website if you want to read up on fire-proofing. It also has another site that's just for kids, hosted by cartoon character, Sparky the Fire Dog. Woof woof! The US Fire Administration has tips on its site, too. Click here to view that.
If you do nothing else to fire-proof your house, at the very least make sure you have working smoke alarms.
