Fire Safety

This is my fall public safety announcement. Not only check your fire alarms to see they are in working order but also your carbon monoxide detectors. If you don't have carbon monoxide detectors, get them! I can not stress this enough. Years ago when we lived in a condo and were first starting up the heat for the season, ours went off the next morning after we had just bought it the previous night! The furnace had a cracked heat exchange. We turned off the heat and opened all the windows, got out of the house, and called the fire department.
(See posting on 9/7/06 for more about this.)

Here's a place to go that's full of fire safety information websites.
