One way to prevent fires in your home

lets start by talking about lamps. Sometimes they look like really great coat racks or even a place to store your hats. Unfortunately this is a great way to start a fire. One of our customers was using her desk lamp in the spare bedroom to store her hats. She had a guest staying over night and that person was using the lamp to read a book. This caused the hats to catch on fire. Luckily the fire was contained to just that one room and not the whole house. There was smoke damage in the hall way that needed to be cleaned up. Its never a good idea to use a lamp as a storage devices. We were there to help our customer and she learned a very valuable lesson, as did the guest.
