Living in an apartment comes with its own set of perks—like not having to mow a lawn every weekend, right? But it also means thinking a bit differently about safety, especially when it comes to fire prevention and general security. Whether you're a new tenant or a seasoned apartment dweller, these tips will help keep your home safe and cozy.

Kitchen Safety: Prevent Cooking Fires

Believe it or not, the kitchen is where many home fires start. Never leave your cooking unattended and keep flammable materials like dish towels and paper bags away from the stove.

Safe Cooking Practices

  • Stay in the Kitchen: Always keep an eye on what you cook.

  • Keep it Clear: Maintain a clutter-free zone around your stove.

  • Have a Fire Extinguisher: In addition to the fire extinguisher in the hallway of every building, you might also want to consider having a small fire extinguisher for the kitchen for added safety.
