When you notice that temperatures will be 30 degrees or below you want to be ready. Here is a list of some precautions you can take before or while temperatures are below freezing.

 - Bring outside pets inside, especially at night, if you are cold outside, your pet is too.

 - Keep a trickle of water running from faucets to help pipes from freezing. Also, insulate your pipes and keep cabinet doors open so that warm air can help keep pipes warm.

 - Have a certified professional check your heating system.

 - Avoid using flammable liquids to start fireplaces and do not leave a fireplace unattended.

 - Make sure your smoke detector is working properly.
