Follow these tips to keep your holidays festive, cheerful and most importantly safe and healthy.
Thanksgiving is only a few days away and the staff at Heritage Homes want to ensure you celebrate safely. Follow these tips to keep your holidays festive, cheerful and most importantly safe and healthy.
Home preparation:
Keep your family and overnight guests safe with a working smoke detector on every level of the house, in every bedroom, and in the halls adjacent to the bedrooms. Test smoke detectors monthly and replace batteries at least twice a year.
Have a fire extinguisher available not more than 10 feet from the stove, on the exit side of the room.
Know how to use your fire extinguisher.
Keep all candles far from children’s reach.
Food Preparation:
Purchase only government- inspected meat and poultry products. Check the “sell by” date on all food you buy, and never buy packages if the date has passed.
Before you prepare anything for the holidays, be sure you begin with a clean stove and oven as well as thoroughly washed kitchen utensils and hands.
