Hyderabad: Fire accidents are unpredictable and can start suddenly and spread quickly, causing damage to your home and belongings as well as putting lives at risk. Fire accidents can happen in many ways, but there are some simple steps you can take to prevent them from occurring.
One can always be cautious by following the basic steps. If you have installed a heater then make sure that the heater is kept well protected, especially from open flames or you can buy portable heaters that come with a built-in guard that provides extra protection.
Keep portable heaters and candles away from furniture and curtains. There is a high chance of fire if they come in contact with each other.
