Stopped misusing electricity by improper fusing, overloaded circuits and defective wiring and appliances; 3. Had your heating equipment and chimney annually cleaned, inspected and defects repaired; 4. Used fire-retardant roofing; 5. Never allowed gasoline, benzine, naphtha or similar volatile flammable liquids in the home for any purpose (Never use such flammable liquids - for dry cleaning or to kindle a fire.) 6. Kept rubbish and unnecessary combustibles regularly removed from your home.

Using fire resistive materials wherever possible; 2. Cutting off basement from first floor by a heavy door; 3. Plastering baesment ceiling with cement or gypsum plaster on metal lath; 4. “Firestopping” hollow partitions at floor levels (especially basement) 5. Installing automatic sprinklers in cellar. 6; If the garage is part of the house it should be separated by masonry walls or at least by metal lath and cement or gypsum plaster.
