Winter response reminds us: home fire safety matters year-round.
CALFIRESCU and the Morgan Hill Fire Department recently responded to a residential structure fire. All residents evacuated safely, and crews were able to contain the fire and prevent further damage to the home.
Incidents like this underscore a key fact: winter is the peak season for home fires.
As temperatures drop, take simple steps to reduce risk:
• Create and practice your home escape plan
• Keep anything that can burn at least three feet from heating equipment
• Turn off space heaters when leaving the room or going to bed
• Never leave cooking unattended
• Test smoke alarms monthly
Quick action by first responders can save lives and property. Safe habits at home help prevent emergencies before they start.
