Our local Destin, Seaside, and Freeport team restores fire damage in Seaside every year. If you own a seasonal home in Seaside, you will benefit from following these seasonal home safety tips from the National Fire Protection Association:

• Install smoke alarms in every sleeping room, outside each separate sleeping area, and on every level of the home
• Test smoke alarms at least once a month using the test button
• Install carbon monoxide (CO) alarms outside each separate sleeping area, on every level of the home, and in other locations, as required by laws, codes, or standards
• Test CO alarms at least once a month
• Pack extra batteries for smoke alarms and CO alarms in case they need replacing
• Make a home escape plan. Practice the plan with everyone in the household, including visitors.
• Know the telephone number of the local fire department and the address and phone number of the vacation home
• Chimneys and vents need to be cleaned and inspected by a qualified professional at least once a year
• If you smoke, smoke outside. Use deep, sturdy ashtrays.
