Chimney Safety Institute of America offers tips for home safety

INDIANAPOLIS – Resolving to diet and exercise this year? Add a resolution to your list that will really make an impact: Protecting your home and family.

The Chimney Safety Institute of America offers safety tips for fireplace, heating and venting, including:

• Install smoke and carbon monoxide detectors throughout your house – and remember to check the batteries in the spring and fall
• Never leave a fire, space heater, electric blanket or other external heating device unattended
• Regularly clean out the lint trap of your clothes dryer
• Add chimney and dryer vent inspections to your spring cleaning list
• Find a CSIA Certified Chimney Sweep® or CSIA Certified Dryer Exhaust Technician® in your area at www.csia.org

“Chimney and dryer vent inspections aren’t just tasks you should get done, they’re tasks you need to get done,” says Ashley Eldridge, CSIA Director of Education. “Nearly 41,000 house fires a year can be prevented by homeowners taking necessary steps. Make safety your number one priority for 2012.”
