As the saying goes, where there’s smoke there is fire. If there is ever a possibility that you smell smoke, immediately exit the building and call 911 or the local fire department.
While many factors can lead to the start of a fire, there are steps that can be taken to help reduce chances of fire and to increase the possibility of early detection should one occur. First, have your electrical wiring inspected periodically. Then, conduct regular tests of smoke and carbon monoxide detectors to ensure they are functioning properly. Last, change the batteries in your detectors every six months.
