The responsibility for fire safety lies with both us and our tenants.

Important preventive measures include:

– Do not place anything that can catch fire on or near the stove.

– Do not leave the stove unattended when it is switched on.

– Turn off the stove when not in use.

– Extinguish candles before leaving home.

– Do not throw cigarette butts or other flammable materials in the garbage room.

– Clean the kitchen fan regularly.
– Check your smoke alarm frequently.
– Make it a habit to close the doors to common areas, such as basements and attics,
to reduce the risk of both fire and burglary.
