Things are getting heated: A fireman grills us, and you, on fire safety



NORTH SHORE -- Kids may be on summer break -- but fire safety shouldn't be. Dave Glanz from the North Shore Fire Department joins Real Milwaukee to school us on safety basics.

When it comes to fire safety, it can be easy to forget the basics, but if you keep them in mind, you and your family are more likely to prevent fires in your home - or at least survive one. The North Shore Fire Department provides free, in-home safety assessments to residents of the North Shore. It includes testing fire and carbon monoxide detectors, reviewing a fire safety plan and even going over a few scenarios to test residents' fire safety knowledge.

The #1 cause of home fires is smoking.
