Fire Safety at Home: A Guide for Your Safety

Preventing fires at home is critical for your safety, that of your loved ones, and your property. According to statistics, 358,500 households are affected by fire incidents and fires each year, leading to the death of approximately 3,000 people annually, loss of property, and other damages.

We offer you some useful tips for ensuring fire safety at home:

Necessary Equipment:

Smoke Detectors: Install smoke detectors on every floor of the house, including the basement and attic, with special emphasis in the kitchen and bedrooms. The detectors can be standalone, battery-operated, if you don’t have the possibility to connect them to the electrical installation. Don’t hesitate to contact us to offer you smoke detectors that you can install yourself in less than a minute.

• Fire Extinguishers: Purchase and place fire extinguishers of the appropriate type in your home, for example in the boiler room, near the garden barbecue, in the kitchen and common areas, and learn how to use them properly. Our favorite product for home use due to its compact size is the Aerosol Portable Fire Extinguisher 500 gr. If you have the opportunity to visit our showroom, it will be our pleasure to show you different options, as well as demonstrate the correct way to operate the different devices.
• Electrical Panel Protection: A large portion of fires in residential buildings are due to malfunctions in the electrical network. Automatic fire protection systems for fires occurring in electrical panels are an ideal solution for home application. They are autonomous, do not need power supply, and automatically activate when the temperature in the panel rises.
• Kitchen Fire Safety Systems: Consider installing automatic fire suppression systems in the kitchen. Statistical studies show that 50% of home fires start in the kitchen. You can review our offer for a kitchen fire extinguishing system with easy installation.

Innovative Fire-Fighting Products: Place fire-fighting devices in various places in the home so that they are always accessible to everyone and fit into your interior. We offer you a “Vase” type fire extinguisher and an insulation blanket, black with design, 1 x 1 m in PVC packaging, and in our “Innovative Products” product category, you can review other suitable items.

Tips for Limiting the Possibility of Fire at Home:

• Prohibit smoking in the house or apartment.
• Do not leave flammable materials near heat sources.
• Do not leave lit candles unattended.
• Always turn off stoves and lighting fixtures when not in use.
• Do not leave flammable liquids near a heat source, pot, flames, or sparks.
• Teach your children fire safety rules and inform them how to call the fire department in case of an incident and what the actions are for safe evacuation.

Maintenance:

• Regularly clean ventilation pipes and filters from accumulated dust and grease.
• Regularly check chimneys and fireplaces for damage and buildup. If you heat with solid fuel at home or at the villa, review our chimney fire extinguisher.
• Store flammable materials such as paper and wood at a safe distance from any heat sources.
• Make sure your electrical installations are in good condition and that there are no worn cables or exposed contacts.
