October is Fire Prevention Month, making it a great time to focus on home fire safety and make sure your family is prepared. Take a few minutes to test your smoke alarms, check fire extinguishers, review your family’s escape plan, and look for potential fire hazards around your home.

It’s also a great time to review your homeowners insurance or renters insurance to make sure your coverage still fits your needs. A little prevention and preparation today can make a big difference when it matters most.
