Other Household Fire Safety

Dryer vents need to be cleaned. A clogged dryer vent can cause a fire. If the vent is inside a wall it can cause the fire to spread before it is detected.

Keep all exits clear. Having a clear way to exit the home is important for good household fire safety.

Lightning causes many fires. While you can’t prevent lightning strikes, having a lightning rod can minimize damage by providing a low resistance path for the enormous energy of a lightning strike.
