Will my fire extinguisher expire?

• <div><p>Yes, fire extinguishers eventually expire. However, the good news is that a properly stored fire extinguisher can last a decade or longer. They don’t have an expiration date on the canister, but you can check the manufacturing date on the “UL” nameplate near the classification information. Maintenance will also give your fire extinguisher longevity. Check the gauge at the top of the extinguisher every month. You'll want to make sure the gauge needle is in the green section, and if a hose or nozzle has been used or damaged, you need to replace it.</p></div>

Do smoke detectors really save lives?

• <div><p>Absolutely! Smoke alarms are lifesavers. According to the <a href="https://www.nfpa.org/Public-Education/Staying-safe/Safety-equipment/Smoke-alarms#:~:text=The%20death%20rate%20per%201%2C000,5.8%20deaths%20per%201%2C000%20fires).">National Fire Protection Association (NFPA)</a>, per 1,000 reported home fires, homes without working smoke alarms have a death rate nearly twice as high as those that <i>do</i> have working alarms. So remember to ensure you have enough installed in your home and that they are working and in good shape.</p></div>

Absolutely! Smoke alarms are lifesavers.

So remember to ensure you have enough installed in your home and that they are working and in good shape.

While your municipality may have its own regulations requiring pergolas or other structures to be a certain height above a fire pit, the standard recommendation is that the pergola should be at least 10 feet above the fire pit. A taller pergola allows the heat from the flames to dissipate before reaching the structure.

While a hot fire can help heat up and loosen tar within your chimney, making it a recommended step before using a creosote log, it will not burn off significant existing buildup on its own. Attempting to remove built-up creosote with a hot fire is dangerous and can cause a chimney fire. For safe and effective removal of caked-on creosote, the best approach is to hire a professional chimney sweep.

Wiring a light switch wrong can cause a fire if the incorrect wiring causes arcing, meaning the current jumps uncontrolled from one conductor to another. Loose wires or worn wires that are not repaired or replaced can cause arcing. If you’re not 100% sure you can do the job safely, don’t attempt to wire a light switch on your own.
