1. Do more home fires result from gas or charcoal grills?
The correct answer is gas grills. Although gas grills are used roughly 1.5 times as often as charcoal grills, they are involved in five times as many fires. Fire hazards are greater when a flammable or combustible gas or liquid is involved.
2. TRUE OR FALSE: The lid should always be open when lighting a gas grill.
The correct answer is “TRUE”. Always keep the lid open to prevent a flash-off from gas buildup.
3. TRUE OR FALSE: When lighting a gas grill, you should always start with the burner on high.

With temperatures plummeting here in Georgia this week, a safe warm home to come home to is on everyone's mind. But if your first comment as you walk in the door is, "Baby, it's cold inside!", you may decide to add a space heater or use your fireplace to toast your cold toes. But here are a few tips from the National Fire Protection Association on using auxillary home heating equipment.

She and her three young girls were at home when a fire started. Needless to say she was under a lot of stress when Champion arrived to handle the repairs. Fortunately, we were able to have her home repaired and her family moved back in their home in less than seven months. She was very happy with the level of service she received and this is what she had to say:
To Whom It May Concern:
My “normal family life was changed by a fire that almost devoured our home on January 19, 2009. I had no real way of knowing the far reaching effects of losing my home and the displacement of what I took for granted was our way of life for my three girls and me. On that night we were horrified as the fire engulfed our home and there was nothing we could to stop it. It was a wonderful blessing that the four of us were not injured in the fire.
I had no way of knowing what to do next. I am happy that I purchased USAA homeowner insurance. I went to the house wearing the pain from the fire in my soul the day following the fire.
