The annual loss in property damage from residential fires is three billion dollars. e Killing a fire in the home can be easy to do if you act quickly. But, a fire extinguisher should be used to prevent a fire from getting big. Today, there are professional fire extinguishers designed for home use that are as easy to handle as a garden hose with a nozzle, only a thousand times safer and more effective. Extinguishers should always be mounted where they are easily accessible, in plain view, and near an exit that will provide a quick escape route. According to Walter Kidde & Company, the world's largest manufacturer of fire extinguishers, the best extinguisher for home use is the extinguisher. It lives up Multi-Purpo- se to its name because it is effective against oil fires, grease fires, live electrical fires, wood, cloth and paper fires, even gasoline fires.

Fire protection and fire prevention go hand in hand. Even if you invest today in smoke detectors and fire extinguishers for your home, an ounce of prevention is, as they say, also necessary. That means checking around your home periodically to see if you have fire hazards. For example, how about frayed lamp and appliance cords? Broken electrical outlets in the wall? What about oily rags, paint cans and other flammable materials in the cellar, garage or attic? Accumulation of waste paper is also dangerous. Check your home from top to bottom now and eliminate potential dangers to your lives and property. Dont think a fire can only happen to someone else. It can happen to you.
