Are Your Windows a Hidden Fire Hazard?
Every year, U.S. fire departments respond to hundreds of thousands of home fires that can spread through a house in under two minutes. While most homeowners install smoke detectors and plan their primary escape routes through doors, many overlook a critical safety element: their windows. Windows can either serve as lifesaving emergency exits or become deadly obstacles if they’re painted shut, blocked by furniture, or equipped with non-removable security devices. The difference between these two outcomes often determines whether your family can safely escape when every second counts.
