5 Fire Hazards Hiding in Your Home (And How to Fix Them)

October is Fire Prevention Month, but house fires don’t wait for a calendar reminder. The truth is, most homes have small fire hazards hiding in plain sight — and they’re usually easy to fix. Here are five of the most common problems we see around Tulsa and surrounding areas, and how you can tackle them now before they become a big deal.

1. Overloaded Power Strips

Holiday lights, game consoles, chargers add up fast. If you’ve got more plugs than outlets, it’s time to install a few properly grounded ones.

2. Dryer Vents Packed with Lint

This is a top cause of house fires. If you can’t remember the last time yours was cleaned, we can take care of it.

3. Old or Loose Outlets

If plugs fall out easily or the outlet is warm to touch, it’s time for a replacement. Don’t wait — this one’s a ticking hazard.

4. Kitchen Range Hood Filters

Grease buildup + heat = fire risk. If your range hood is long overdue for a cleaning or swap, we’ll fix that.

5. Blocked or Missing Smoke Alarms

Every bedroom and hallway needs one — and it needs to work. We can check placement, test batteries, and replace old or dead units.
