Don't cheap out on uncertified power bars or extension cords...Saving a few dollars is not worth the risk of a fire in your home.

[Midland Fire Department @MidlandFire]

We would like to remind everyone to never put out cigarettes or joints in planters...These can cause fires even hours after you thought they were out. Only use ashtrays or non combustible tins to dispose of your butts.

As a building owner you are responsible for ensuring closures in fire separations are maintained so they close and latch flush with the frame. If it does not, you are required to have it repaired or replaced.

It doesn't make a sound, doesn't have a smell, doesn't have a taste, and can kill you...Sounds bad right? That is the description of Carbon Monoxide...Test the only thing that can protect you from it.

[Midland Fire Department @MidlandFire]

If we told you there was a device available that would save your life from something your cannot hear, see, or smell, would you purchase it? The answer is yes...That "device" is a Carbon Monoxide Alarm. Install one outside of all sleeping areas today.

[Midland Fire Department @MidlandFire]

Having a working CO alarm that is less than 10 years old can save you and your families lives. Ensure they are placed properly on all floors outside of sleeping areas.

If you make the decision to use real candles for your #Halloween decorations tonight, please ensure they are kept out of reach of children and pets, and also completely out before you go to sleep.

[Midland Fire Department @MidlandFire]

Getting the kids costumes ready for #TrickOrTreating? Please make sure they have something that will make them visible as they are walking around in the evening.

[Midland Fire Department @MidlandFire]

It's that time of year when the #Halloween decorations are coming out. Please make the switch to LED candles.

[Midland Fire Department @MidlandFire]

If a fire happened in your home today, would you get out before it's too late? Ensure you have working and in date smoke alarms, as well as a plan to escape.

[Midland Fire Department @MidlandFire]

We would like to remind everyone to never sleep with your phone or tablet charging underneath your pillows.

Keep your kitchen a #KidFreeZone, especially when cooking.

[Midland Fire Department @MidlandFire]

It is highly recommended you do not do your own electrical work...

[Midland Fire Department @MidlandFire]

Kitchen fires happen fast. Never leave your cooking unattended and never put water on a grease fire. #PutALidOnIt

[Midland Fire Department @MidlandFire]

Can you see the deadly Carbon Monoxide that has filled this room? The answer is no...The only way to tell if deadly Carbon Monoxide(CO) is in your home is with working CO Alarms.

[Midland Fire Department @MidlandFire]

Dryer fires happen, but are avoidable. Please make sure you are cleaning the lint trap and exhaust piping regularly.
