Sharing a little education with your clients can continue to make them an invaluable asset. Here are some quick tips to share with them.

Fire Safety for Realtors

Smoke Alarms
Buy a smoke alarm from Home Hazard Prevention. With the many styles and types of installation; you should hire a professional fire fighter to take care of this. Alarms are an inexpensive protection, and a working smoke alarm can double the chances of survival.  Monthly testing and cleaning are recommended. Batteries should be replaced at least once a year for all units. Doing them all at the same time will save you time down the line. Smoke alarms themselves should be replaced after 10 years of service, or as recommended by the manufacturer.

Children
Too often children are left on their own and the result can be deadly. Children have a natural curiosity and the ability to copy the behaviors of their parents, such as using a lighter or match. It only takes a few seconds for a child to start a fire. Tragically, children set over 20,000 house fires every year. Take the mystery out of fire play by having the professional firefighters at HHP talk to your clients and families about fire safety.

Appliances
The manufacturer’s safety precautions should always be reviewed before using an appliance. Overheating, unusual smells, shorts and sparks are all warning signs that an appliance needs to be shut off, then replaced or professionally repaired. Appliances should be unplugged when not in use. Use safety caps to cover all unused outlets, especially if there are small children in the home.

Electrical Circuit Overloading
It’s tempting to plug lights, extension cords or other appliances into the handiest outlet. If you overload a circuit though, you are asking for trouble. Never plug more than two appliances into the same receptacle at one time. Do not place cords and wires under rugs, over nails or in high traffic areas.

Plan Their Escape
Have your clients practice an escape plan from every room in their new house. Caution everyone to stay low to the floor when escaping from fire and never to open doors that are hot. They should select a location safely away from the house where everyone can meet after escaping. Get out; then call for help and never re-enter the structure for any reason.
