If planning a vacation, fire safety should be a primary concern for both the home and the vacation destination. 

To leave worry-free, check the home first

• Check that all stoves and electrical appliances are turned off or disconnected.
• Unplug all television sets and radios. Lightning storms or sudden electrical surges can start a fire in this equipment.
• When returning from vacation, make sure smoke alarms are functioning. Batteries may have run down during the interval.
