There is no rewind in real life - make sure when using electrical items such as straighteners, hair dryers, laptops and phone chargers, that we are not putting them on soft surfaces and turning them off when finished.

The weather is cooling down, and if lighting up a fire pit is in your weekend plans, be safe!

You can't smell smoke when you're asleep πŸ˜΄πŸ’€
All smoke alarms in your home should be interconnected - this means that no
matter where a fire starts - all alarms will sound.
