Here are a few valuable tips and ways to keep your home and workshop safe from fires. Prevention is the best method so keep these things in mind. Of course you should have at least one of the many fire extinguisher types on hand for the ultimate in preventing a fire from spreading.
1. Make sure flamable items are disposed of properly including wood scraps, wood shavings, sawdust and other wastes.
2. Store oily rags in a proper waste can and empty it daily. You can also soak them in water and toss them outside in a sealed metal container.
3. Make sure electrical tools don’t have frayed cords, bad motors or bent and broken plugs. These are a hazard and should be replaced.
4. Make sure your wood working shop has at least a 20 amp electrical circuit to make sure you have enough power for your tools and lights.
5. In case a fire would break out, be sure to have good smoke detectors in the right places and replace the batteries as often as needed.
6. Invest in a good kidde fire extinguisher, and get proper fire extinguisher training. There are many types of fire extinguishers available so be sure to get the one that is right for your home. You’ll want one that can handle electrical and combustible materials including liquids that are flammable.
7. Have a fire escape route plan for every location. In some cases that will mean exiting through a door, in others perhaps a window.
