  • Don't use electrical appliances with frayed cords.
  • Check for water around electrical appliances.
  • Clean debris from your clothes dryer lint trap and exhaust duct.

Outside the Home:

  • Remove dead leaves and other debris around foundations, decks, porches, and stairs.
  • Check grills for rust, worn parts, insects, grease, and other debris before use.
  • Grills should only be used when at least 10 feet away from your house or any building.
