smoke detector

My fire was put out quickly and nobody was hurt. I had an electrician come in and fix the faulty wiring and install a new light switch. But seeing flames come out of my wall? That was a scary sight that I don't ever want to see again!

In a family home, flames can spread in just minutes. People who don't get out in time can suffer life-threatening burns and disfiguring injuries. My sister cared for hundreds of such patients during her 10 years as a nurse in a hospital burn unit. I interviewed her for this blog and want to share some of her comments to help you keep safe from fire dangers.
