HCFR: A bit of advice

Two mobile home fires in the county last week have prompted Hall County Fire Rescue (HCFR) to issue a “dos and don’ts” list of things you can do to safeguard your home from such an incident, while noting that residential fires – regardless of the kind of structure – are more common during the winter months.

Do:

-Close your bedroom doors at night

-Have working smoke alarms

-Get low and go to escape the smoke

-Have an escape plan for your family

Don’t:

-Heat your home with your oven

-Leave your space heaters/fireplaces unattended

-Plug appliances into an extension cord or overload extension cords
