Do smoke detectors really save lives?

• <div><p>Absolutely! Smoke alarms are lifesavers.

Q: Should a chimney flue be open or closed?

• <div><p>The damper, located just above the firebox, can open or <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-close-chimney-flue.htm">close the chimney flue</a>. The damper should remain closed unless there&rsquo;s a fire burning in the fireplace. Closing the damper prevents energy loss through the chimney and cold air from seeping into the home during the winter. Opening the damper helps maintain airflow when there is a fire and prevents smoke and gases from venting into the house.</p></div>

Q: What type of fire extinguisher should you have in a kitchen?

• <div><p>You should have either an <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/understanding-fire-extinguisher-ratings.htm">ABC or K-rated fire extinguisher</a> in the kitchen. ABC fire extinguishers put out wood, trash, paper, plastic, and textile fires along with grease, oil, gas, kerosene, and electrical fires. A class K fire extinguisher is specifically rated for use in the kitchen and is designed to extinguish combustible cooking materials, including grease and fat. </p></div>

Q: Are dead palm fronds a fire hazard?

• <div><p>Yes, dead palm tree fronds are a fire hazard. The leaves become highly combustible because the dead fronds don&rsquo;t fall off the tree themselves, especially in hot, sunny climates. In fact, many wildfires start from dead palm fronds. Palm trees can also easily catch fire from lighting, electrical power lines, and fireworks. So, cutting off dead palm fronds before they become a fire hazard is important.</p></div>

Q: Can you just let a fire burn out in a fireplace?

• <div><p>You can let a fire burn out in a fireplace as long as you or someone else will stick around to monitor it until it goes completely out. This may take several hours. To prepare, stop adding fuel to the fire well before you&rsquo;re ready to call it a night. If you&rsquo;re using the fireplace for warmth, you&rsquo;ll want to cover up in some blankets as the flame dies down.</p></div>
