Can I leave my fireplace burning overnight?

• <div><p>No, you should never leave a fireplace burning overnight or unattended during the day. While fireplaces are made to contain fires, fires can and do spread from fireplaces, so it’s crucial that you’re there to monitor them and put them out if needed. If you’re worried about putting out a fire before bed, stop feeding it fuel long before bedtime and actively put out the fire using your poker, a shovel, and some baking soda.</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>

Q: What do I do if my dryer catches on fire?

• <div><p>Call 911 immediately. If you have a fire extinguisher or fire blanket near the laundry room, you can attempt to extinguish the fire, but don&rsquo;t open or touch the dryer. If you can&rsquo;t put the fire out, evacuate yourself, your family, and your pets from the house, closing the laundry room door behind you. Turn off the electricity to your home via the outside fuse box, then wait for the fire department. After a dryer fire, have your home&rsquo;s electrical system inspected to make sure there isn&rsquo;t any damage.</p></div>

Q: Are there any fire safety concerns with attic furnaces?

• <div><p>Attics often contain a mix of insulation, electrical wiring, and other materials that can pose fire risks. That&rsquo;s why furnaces should be installed in the attic with proper insulation and clearance from combustible materials. Additionally, the furnace should be equipped with proper ventilation and heat shields to prevent the buildup of excessive heat in the attic space. Regular inspections and maintenance are also crucial to identify and address any potential fire hazards.</p></div>

Q: Does a fireplace make home insurance more expensive?

• <div><p>Wood-burning fireplaces typically make homeowners insurance more expensive, simply because they increase the risk for a fire in your home. Gas and electric inserts are less likely to bring up your insurance rates, but you should always speak with your agent to understand how installing any type of fireplace will affect your premiums. </p></div>
