Do you know this simple step that could prevent a battery-triggered fire?
In an effort to minimize my "carbon footprint," I collect all of our dead batteries and place them in a box in the basement. When the box is full, I take it to the County hazardous waste collection event. Never did I imagine that my recycling effort could potentially be exposing my house, family and pets to a devastating fire. Having experienced a fire in my college apartment, I know that it is something a never want to relive. Twenty years later, I can close my eyes and see the flames shooting up the wall and across the ceiling. The melted ceiling light fixture, the burned counter top. And I can hear the popping of the exploding Pepsi cans, that were sitting right next to the stove. I haven't tried to heat up oil for fondue since. Guess how many fire extinguishers we received as wedding gifts the following year?
Take a few minutes to watch this quick video and learn one simple, quick & inexpensive tip to minimize your risk of a house fire. I'm off to buy some electrical tape...
