  • Clean out the lint trap in dryer after every use
  • Keep an eye on kitchen appliances and food when cooking, especially when frying
  •  Every kitchen should have a smoke detector and fire extinguisher in the kitchen
  • Clean out the garage. Do not store gasoline for lawn mower in the garage. Properly dispose of greasy rags, keep them in a metal, sealed container.
