APARTMENT FIRES: Prevention,Safety Precautions And How To Handle One..MUST READ by Viktoreze(m): 9:27am On Jan 02, 2019
Within minutes, a small fire can spread and grow into a deadly fire. But with a few steps, you can protect yourself, your home and your belongings. First, closely inspect your home to eliminate potential hazards. Then, use these fire prevention tips and strategies to safeguard your home.

Apartment Safety

Protect your appliances and your home by using surge protectors.
Do not overload circuits or extension cords.
Check electrical cords for appliances. Cords that are frayed or cracked are potential fire hazards. Unplug the cord immediately and replace.
Do not run cords underneath rugs or between rooms.
Never place portable space heaters near flammable materials, such as drapery.
Turn off space heaters when leaving the room or going to bed.
Do not smoke in bed or leave burning cigarettes unattended.
Keep lighters and matches out of reach of children.
Do not leave candles or incense unattended, and place these items away from drapes, curtains or other flammable materials.
Do not store flammable materials, such as gasoline cans or a propane tank, in your apartment.
Kitchen Safety

Remember to never leave food unattended on a stove.
Keep potholders and towels away from the cooking area.
Avoid wearing loose-fitting sleeves when cooking.

Laundry Room Safety

If possible, have your dryer installed and serviced by a professional.
Avoid using a dryer without a lint filter.
Clean the lint filter before or after each load of laundry, and remove lint that has collected around the drum of your dryer.
Check to make sure the right plug and outlet are used, and make sure the machine is connected properly.
If you leave home or go to bed, turn the dryer off.
Smoke Alarms
Make sure there is a properly functioning smoke alarm installed in your apartment. To be extra cautious, install a smoke alarm outside of each sleeping area. These alarms can be battery-operated or electrically hardwired in your home. For renters who have hearing problems, use alarms that include flashing strobe lights and vibration. Test smoke alarms once a month, and replace batteries once a year. An easy reminder is to change the batteries when the clocks spring forward.

Escape Route
Though your apartment may be prepared, accidents do occur. Plan an escape route, and if you have roommates, plan for a safe place to meet outside.Have at least two escape routes planned in case one is blocked.

WHAT TO DO IF A FIRE BREAKS OUT IN YOUR APARTMENT

No matter the emergency, knowledge is key to handle any situation, including a fire. Now things are bit different when it comes to apartment fires (vs. your own house), so preventing and dealing with the aftermath of a fire are handled a bit differently.

Here are some crucial steps to take when dealing with an apartment fire.

Before An Apartment Fire
Make sure there are fire extinguishers and smoke detectors in the appropriate areas and that they are functioning properly. You should check your smoke detectors every month and replace the batteries twice a year.
Create a fire escape plan.
Make sure you know where the nearest fire escapes are and create alternate escape plans in case areas are blocked off due to a fire.
In the case of damages, the landlord is responsible for what happens to the apartment home but not your actual belongings, so if you want to have those covered make sure to get renter’s insurance.
Make sure you have an inventory of what you own. You should have a written list, photos or video recording of what is in the home.

During An Apartment Fire

If the fire starts in your apartment or you see a fire nearby, pull the nearest fire alarm.
If you hear a fire alarm, do not hesitate and leave the area. Follow your plan.
Only fight a fire if it is small, contained and not releasing toxic fumes.
In case of a kitchen fire where food or oil catches fire, cover it with flour to starve it of oxygen. In all other cases, use a fire extinguisher, if possible.
Even if it seems safe, do not go back unless you are told it is.

After An Apartment Fire
Do not go into your apartment until it is deemed safe to do so.
Make sure you do a walkthrough of your apartment once it is safe to do so. You are responsible for your belongings and must remove them.
Contact your renter’s insurance agent to discuss the steps to filing a claim.
Contact your local Red Cross chapter and area nonprofits for assistance with food, housing, etc.
Important: Make sure you know the terms to your lease and whether you are in terms to cancel it. If you’re renting, know that you may qualify for temporary housing if your apartment is deemed unlivable.

May the Lord strengthen you to walk through the valleys of this month with grace. May He grant you the courage to shoulder your responsibilities with candour and enjoy the blessings with humility. May the Lord who knows the end from the beginning make every crooked way smooth for you and May he bestow upon you the divine peace and wisdom which will enable you to smile through the trials for they are not "problems" as the rest of the world thinks but stepping stones to the exalted position that the Almighty has prepared for you.

I wish you a Happy New month, remain blessed.

I have always liked real estate; farm land, pasture land, timber land and city property. I have had experience with all of them. I guess I just naturally like ‘the good Earth,’ the foundation of all our wealth.”
