Can I build a fire pit on my patio?

• <div><p>You can safely build a fire pit on your patio as long as you use porous, fire-resistant pavers or a fire pit mat over existing pavers.

Q: Is it better to leave a pilot light on or turn it off?

• <div><p>Your pilot light needs to be on whenever you&rsquo;re using your furnace to heat your home. However, you might decide to turn it off during the summer months, when you don&rsquo;t need heating. Doing this can save you a little bit of money on utility costs&mdash;just make sure you&rsquo;re fine with relighting your pilot light (or hiring a professional to do it) when fall comes around and you&rsquo;re ready to get cozy.</p></div>

Q: Should smoke detectors be installed on the ceiling or the wall?

• <div><p>The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) says you can place smoke detectors on either the ceiling or the wall, depending on the setup of your room. Since smoke rises, the ceiling makes sense, but if you go with a wall mounting, the alarm should be installed high up&mdash;no less than 12 inches from the ceiling. </p></div>

Q: What are the problems with fire doors?

• <div><p>There aren&rsquo;t many problems with fire doors except that they slow down or cut off ventilation at the higher rating levels. For this reason, work with a professional to ensure you have adequate ventilation throughout your house or workspace. The sealing around a fire door is meant to allow for a specific amount of ventilation and will need regular inspections to ensure adequate airflow. </p></div>

Q: Will a fire hydrant on my property affect my insurance premiums?

• <div><p>In most cases, having a fire hydrant installed on your property, whether it&rsquo;s maintained by you personally or your municipality, will reduce your insurance premiums. Its proximity to any buildings on the property will reduce the time it takes to put out a fire, thus reducing the resulting damage. </p></div>
