10 Flammable Garage Items That You Should NEVER Store

#FireSafety #HomeSafety #GarageSafety #FirePrevention #SeniorSafety #SafetyTips #homefire This video covers the ten garage fire hazards no home should ever hold, and the simple way to clear every one of them in a single Saturday. Fires that start in garages burn bigger and spread farther than fires starting anywhere else in the house, and the checks here are especially important for seniors, because most of these hazards build up slowly over decades of ordinary life. We go shelf by shelf through gasoline and propane storage, aerosol cans, old paint and solvents, the water heater corner, hot mowers, cardboard clutter, grill ashes, and the one special door that holds a garage fire back. The video ends with the strangest hazard of all: the pile of oily rags that can catch fire entirely on its own, and the one habit that makes it impossible. Nothing to buy except a metal can, and nothing to climb.
