10 Tips For Fire Safety

Oct 13, 2016

October 9 to 15 is Fire Prevention Week. As the leaves change and the weather cools, fireplaces are reignited, candles are lit, and hot cups of cocoa are boiled on the stove. And during this time of year it’s important to remember to keep your family safe by taking precautionary steps to avoid a fire in your home.

At Van Dorn, Curtiss & Rousseau, PLLC we care about your safety and are here to remind you of the value in taking the time to review safety tips with your family to prevent any burn injuries from a fire.
