π§ Maintenance Monday: Fire Prevention Week edition
Three things to knock out this week:
1. Test every smoke alarm and carbon monoxide alarm. Push the button. No beep? Replace the battery or the alarm.
2. Clear the area around your furnace and water heater. No paint cans, gas cans, cleaners, cardboard, or laundry piles.
3. This year's Fire Prevention Week theme is safe battery charging. Keep chargers for e-bikes, scooters, and tool batteries out of the furnace room and away from anything that can burn.
Fifteen minutes, tops. Worth it.
