🔥 FIRE PREVENTION FRIDAY! 🔥

Summer evenings around the campfire are one of the best parts of living in North Dakota and Minnesota, but it only takes one spark to turn a fun night into a dangerous situation.

Before lighting your next campfire:
✅ Keep it at least 15 feet away from tents, trees, and structures
✅ Never leave a fire unattended
✅ Keep water or a shovel nearby
✅ Check for local fire restrictions
✅ Drown, stir, and feel the ashes before leaving—they should be cool to the touch

As both a REALTOR® and Fire Chief, I know that protecting our homes, families, and communities starts with simple safety habits.

Enjoy the outdoors, make memories, and stay fire safe this summer! 🔥🏕️

Flashback to when I got paid $0.25/hour to sweep!💰😂

Turns out all that practice paid off! A little shed cleanup today and I'm still oddly satisfied by a good before-and-after transformation.😁

Fire Prevention Friday 🔥🏡

As both a REALTOR® and Fire Chief, I see how quickly “what if” becomes reality when it comes to home fires—and one of the most overlooked safety tools in multi-story homes is a fire escape ladder.

If your bedroom is on the second level (or higher), ask yourself: If the main exit was blocked, how would I get out safely?

Fire escape ladders are:

☑️Designed to deploy quickly from upper-level windows
☑️Compact enough to store under a bed or in a closet
☑️Intended for one-time emergency use—not practice climbing or everyday access

A few quick reminders:

☑️Make sure every occupied upstairs room has a second way out
☑️Practice your home escape plan with your family twice a year
☑️Keep windows accessible (not painted shut or blocked by furniture)
☑️Choose a ladder that matches your window height before you need it

We spend so much time thinking about finishes, layouts, and curb appeal when buying or building a home—but safety features like this matter just as much.

A beautiful home should also be a safe one.

Stay prepared. Stay aware. Stay safe. 🔥
