What are the basic fire safety tips and procedures to prevent your house from fire?

Fire Safety can be achieved by a sound mentality on the awareness that accidents or incidents are caused. Before you leave home be sure all your electrical appliances except your refrigerator which is dedicated to a circuit breaker, is turned off. Also turn off your stoves and other potential sources of energy.

On the other hand, be sure your smoke or heat detector are working. This can be tested from your vendor monthly, in the same e way to have an ABC fire extinguisher on board. Effective housekeeping using the Japanese "5S" methods will erradicate fire hazards.

Please do not overload your electrical circuits especially using octopus connections, you are a candidate for fire.  I assume you are a non-smoker; but should a smoker insists, its up tp you to control that ugly habit before you're a side tracked candidate for Emphizema of the Lungs.

summary: Fire has three legs forming an imaginary triangle. Take away the source of heat which are uncontrolled energy sources (overloaded electrical circuits, space heaters, electric fans, electric irons, and excessive lighting) gives no fire.

Take away the  fuel such as those ugly fire hazards e.g. plastics, papers, kitchen oil, shellane LPGs leaves no fire.
