As you are cleaning out this spring, don’t forget about fire safety.

• Test your smoke alarms, and replace any alarms that are 10 years old or older.
• Test your carbon monoxide alarms, and replace any alarms that are 7 years old or older.
• Check your dryer vents and clean the hosing.
• Clean clutter inside and outside your home.
• Check the cords on your appliances. If any are cracked or frayed, repair or replace them.
• Practice your home fire escape plan.
