Fire Prevention
Candles are a common cause of residential fires and December is the peak time of year for home candle fires.
On average, more than 400 people in the United States alone die every year from accidental carbon monoxide poisoning.
Consider installing a residential fire sprinkler system!
Most people think fire sprinkler systems are only for commercial buildings. However, their use in single family homes is growing in popularity.
The Terrell Hills Fire Department recommends every house should have a working fire extinguisher. Knowing where it's located can make the difference between putting out a small fire quickly or allowing it to turn into a major loss.
