It's National Fire Prevention Week!  When it comes to keeping your family safe, it's important to take steps to prevent potential fire hazards.  Here are a few fire safety tips from the National Fire Protection Association.

Fire Safety Tips:

• Cooking With Caution - Be careful when using your stove or stovetop.  Always stay in the kitchen when you are cooking and check the food regularly.
• Lighting Candles - Make sure you blow out all candles when you leave a room or go to bed.  Never leave a child alone with a burning candle and keep matches out of reach.
• Heating Your Home -Keep anything flammable at least three feet away from your heating equipment.  Always keep your heating equipment cleaned and remember to turn off portable heaters when you leave the room.
• Smoking - Discard cigarettes in a deep, sturdy ashtray rather than throwing them on the ground.  Plants, dried grass and leaves can ignite easily.
