When it comes to enjoying the summer, you want to do so safely with your family and friends. As a property owner, you want to ensure your tenants are safe and enjoying all that summer has to offer. By working with Connected Fire, you can ensure your building is safe and also provide summer fire safety tips. Keeping fire safety in Chicago your number one priority helps to keep your tenants and your building from a tragedy. Here are a few tips to keep in mind this summer as you enjoy the break.

Fireworks

Summer and fireworks seem to go hand-in-hand. It is critical that you remind your tenants that fireworks should be utilized and viewed at public displays. There are hundreds that are injured every year by misusing fireworks. This is why it is best to find a public display that is planned and enjoy them together as a family, safely. You don’t even have to worry about the cleanup when you choose this route.

Grills

Your complex may allow your renters to have a grill on their balcony. If so, there are a few tips you should also remember when it comes to grilling this summer. Never leave the grill unattended when you’re cooking or preparing. It can easily cause a fire by ashes or debris getting blown around. It is vital that you keep an eye on the grill at all times.

Do not leave children or your pets close to the grill unattended. Remember to keep the ash tray clean out and always ensure the grill is completely out before leaving it for the night.

Safety Plan

As part of your summer experience, take this time to go over your fire safety plan with your building tenants. Each tenant can go over their own plan of leaving the building in case of a fire. However, you should also make sure that all of the fire safety equipment you have in place is in good working order. Our team here at Connected Fire can do just that. We provide services such as:
