• The Warwick Fire Prevention Team hopes that our Community is continuing to remain Warwick Fire Safe. Overloaded electrical circuits are a major cause of residential fires. The average American home was built in 1977 and may not be able to handle the demands of today’s electrical appliances and devices. Help lower your risk of electrical fires by not overloading your electrical system. Learn the warning signs of an overloaded electrical system and how to avoid overloading circuits: Having a #smarthome doesn’t mean you need to purchase a new home. You just need the right technology to keep your home safe, secure, and energy efficient. If you’re renovating your home, make sure to have the electrical safety devices required by the #NationalElectricalCode (NEC) installed to maintain an electrically safe home. The NEC outlines the minimum requirements for safe electrical installation. Learn how safety devices can make your home safe and smart.
