The best kind of fire is one that never starts. Fires can be devastating if severe enough. Not only are priceless items lost, but your sense of comfort and stability is also at risk if your home becomes severely damaged. There are many ways to be cautious and prevent fires to ensure the safety of your family and home. 

The number one thing every home should have to prevent fires is well-maintained smoke detectors. On matters this serious, you need to make sure that you are regularly testing your smoke detectors, changing the batteries as needed, and making sure they are working properly. You also need to make sure that you have the right number of smoke detectors for your home. 

Other things like planning an escape route, determining a family meeting point, and knowing who to call after 911 are also very important to establish with your family in case of a fire. Always remember that you can never plan too much. Being prepared is never a bad thing.
