Important Ways to Protect Your Family and Home

Published 17 November 08 08:54 PM | Christine Taylor 

SMOKE DETECTORS - To be most effective, a smoke detector should be placed on each floor of a home, with one near bedrooms to alert occupants while they sleep. Be sure to replace the batteries regularly.

FIRE EXTINGUISHERS - Visit www.fireextinguisher.com for information on how to use, inspect and maintain fire extinguishers in your home or business.

HOMEOWNER'S INSURANCE - Your home is most likely your largest investment. Homeowner's insurance protects your investment, and also covers liability for injuries and damage that may be caused to others.

CARBON MONOXIDE DETECTORS - Detectors provide early warning of a buildup of this poitentially deadly, odorless, colorless, tasteless gas.

RADON TEST KITS - Discounted test kits can be purchased from the National Safety Council at www.nsc.org or by calling 1-800-S0S-RADON.

HOME SECURITY SYSTEM - Homes without a home security system are three times more likely to be burglarized. Even the appearance of having a system can reduce the risks of being robbed.
