The warmer weather and budding trees have many of us thinking about spring cleaning. As we get the grill and lawnmower ready and begin to think about the various projects we want to tackle in our homes and yards, it’s always good to be mindful of minimizing the risk of fires and other hazards. Here are some tips to keep you and your family safe during the spring cleaning season:
• Properly store gasoline, flammable, and combustible liquids
• Carefully dispose of rags with paint and stain
• Clean and inspect grills to ensure they’re in good working order
• Keep leaves and debris well away from your home
• Clean out your clothes dryer and exhaust vent pipe
• Test your smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detectors, and replace batteries if needed
