School Fire Hazards

Most fire hazards that are discussed are in and around the home. While most fire hazards are in the same general wheel house the items to look for do vary slightly. Today we want to discuss what to look out for at school in regards to fire hazards items 

The first large item is electrical appliances. These items can range from a keurig coffee maker for the teach to the power cord used by the teacher or student to charge their devices. In today's world everyone has a multitude of cords and devices to charge at all times. 

The second item is smoking. While this is prohibited in all school building there is still a chance someone will not listen to the warnings. This can cause smoke damage, set off the alarms, and ultimately set something on fire. 

 The third and final item is clutter. Everyone has clutter in some aspect of their life. A teacher may have some clutter of art work from students or papers that need to be graded. Students may have clutter in their desk that could cause an issue as well. 

These are the top three fire hazards in schools. Now that you have some ideas of what to look for always keep your eyes open!
