5 things that can make your home safer


1.  Fire extinguishersPut one on every floor of your home, plus an extra in the kitchen where the majority of home fires start. There are a lot of different types of extinguishers, but multi-purpose       A-B-C extinguishers put out all types of fires.  Make sure you    check each fire extinguisher on a regular basis (when the time changes take place) and when the pressure gauge drops have   them recharged. 
(Some insurance companies will even give you a discount if you   have them.)

2.  Upstairs escape ladders.  Put one under a window in each upstairs bedroom.  Make sure you purchase a high enough quality to handle the weight of those people who are to use them. Practice using them so you will know how in an emergency.

3.  Wireless water alarms. Install them under sinks, behind the refrigerator, by your washing machine - anywhere water would collect if there is a water leak.

4.  Automatic shutoff valve for water heater. This device will cut off the water supply as soon as it senses a water leak.

5. Sump pump alarm. This alerts you to a rapidly rising water level that could mean a flood and resulting water damage to your property.
