East Coast Security Systems provides both residential and commercial security systems to our clients in Washington, NC, and Greenville, NC. As a part of our alarm monitoring system, we will alert the authorities if there is a fire at your home or place of business. However, we hope to never have to do so. Here are a few tips to help prevent fires in your residential and commercial properties:

  1. Make sure that your property is well-stocked with working fire alarms and fire extinguishers. Regularly check your fire alarms to make sure the batteries are still working.
  2. Monitor your electrical outlets. If you see any frayed wires, be sure to replace them. Do not block outlets or cover them with rugs or furniture. Do not overload your circuits.
  3. Maintain and monitor your appliances. If you have a clothes dryer, be sure to regularly clean out the vent and to remove lint after each load. If you are using a space heater in your home or office, never leave it unattended.

At East Coast Security Systems, it is our job to help keep you safe and secure. Please be sure to follow these tips to prevent any fires from occurring.
