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>

Do you leave the damper open when burning a creosote log?

• <div><p>Yes, you need to leave your chimney damper open when burning a creosote log so that smoke and other debris doesn’t waft into your house as it’s burning. You’ll need to make sure your damper is fully open, even when the log continues to smoke, until it’s completely out and cold. </p></div>

Q: Are recessed lights a fire hazard?

• <div><p>Recessed lights, as with any kind of light, can be a fire hazard if not installed correctly. Because of this, it&rsquo;s best to have a professional complete the installation for you. Properly installed lights should not pose a threat and often have heat sensors installed in them that turn the light off if the temperature gets too high.</p></div>

Q: What should you not do after a house fire?

• <div><p>After a house fire, you should not reenter your home unless the fire crew has told you it&rsquo;s safe to do so. In the longer term, you should not attempt to make repairs to the house on your own. Professional crews are trained to clean up after a fire (including smoke and soot damage), dry out any water damage from the firefighter crews, and make the necessary structural, plumbing, and electrical repairs&mdash;and this is all likely covered by insurance.</p></div>

Q: Are any safes completely fireproof?

• <div><p>No material is genuinely fireproof, so there&rsquo;s no genuinely fireproof safe. Any material would break down if exposed to a hot enough temperature for long enough. That said, safes can withstand certain house fires. Manufacturers use the term &ldquo;fireproof&rdquo; synonymously with &ldquo;fire resistant.&rdquo;</p></div>
