HOUSE RULES How to Prevent a House Fire for your agricultural housing

DO NOT disable smoke alarms.

If these are activated while cooking, check your surroundings. Let air flow in so the smoke comes out. The alarm will stop making a noise after a while.

NEVER throw cooking oil into the sinkPlease place in a glass jar and discard it in the trashcan.
