The National Fire Protection Association estimates that between 2012 and 2016, fire departments responded to more than 3500,000 structure fires per year.

Here are some easy things you can do around the house to prevent fire and smoke damage.

Before firing up your grill, make sure it is at least ten feet from the home, check grill hoses and make sure there are no leaks.  If you smell gas, turn off the propane tank immediately. Never light a gas grill with the lid closed.

If you are thinking about building or buying a fire pit for the family to enjoy s’mores in the evenings, make sure it is at least fifteen feet from your home. Build or place the fire pit on a solid and even surface, and NEVER leave the fireplace unattended.
