October is Fire Prevention Month, a timely reminder that fire safety starts with simple habits at home. At Paul Davis, we’ve seen first-hand how devastating house fires can be. Prevention saves lives, protects property, and gives families peace of mind.

Why It Matters

A house fire can happen in minutes. According to Health Canada, most home fires are caused by cooking accidents, smoking, candles, or faulty electrical equipment. Knowing the risks means you can take action before disaster strikes.

Top Fire Safety Tips Every Home Needs:

• Test smoke alarms monthly and change batteries twice a year.
• Keep fire extinguishers on every level of your home, especially in the kitchen.
• Never leave cooking unattended. Stay in the kitchen when using the stove.
• Have an escape plan, and practise it with your family.
• Store flammable items safely and away from heat sources.

Be Ready, Not Sorry

Preparation saves lives. Talk to your family about fire safety. Check alarms. Review your escape route. These steps take minutes, but they can make all the difference.
