We had two trees, right on the property line between our house and the next door neighbors. It was a teeny space, but they were able to remove them and stack the wood for our son's fire pit, as requested. They worked quickly and efficiently. The cost was very reasonable. I'd recommend...

Fire Pit Installation questions, answered by experts

Short circuits can cause fires, electrical burns, and electrocution, which can lead to serious injury or even death. That’s why it’s important to take preventative measures to prevent short circuits, like getting annual electrical maintenance and an electrical inspection every two to five years, depending on the age of your home.

Regular inspections, using dry wood, and installing chimney caps help maintain efficiency and safety.

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—no less than 12 inches from the ceiling.

Regular inspections, battery replacements, and testing alarms help maintain reliability.

An outlet can start a fire if it has blown a fuse, or is sparking, overheating, or smells burnt. Prevent electrical fires by unplugging the device connected to the outlet and hiring an electrician to determine and fix the outlet’s issue. If the outlet stays hot or isn't working, you should fix it.
