Fire Safety Tips

Increase the frequency of property inspections by your maintenance staff.
During each inspection, make sure to check all electrical outlets for possible overloading in the living areas, bedrooms, porches, and balconies.
Check for any extension cords being used for portable heaters or any appliance that is a heavy user of electrical current.
Do not use extension cords on a permanent basis.
Do not overload wall outlets with too many appliances.
Check for taped or frayed extension cords being used to power portable appliances, Christmas trees, or special decorations.
During the holiday season, encourage residents to tum off Christmas tree lights while asleep.
Inform all residents to report any defective electrical switches, plug-ins, or wiring to the office.
