Prevent Fire Mishaps this Summer and Always

If there is one thing that the pandemic has taught us, it’s to always look after the things that matter the most, including the home that keeps us safe through these challenging times. Even amid a pandemic, fire cases in the country continue to rise, but these can be avoided with proper caution and preparation.

AXA Philippines is here to help you secure your home and your family’s safety with these tips:

Get a smart smoke detector. It's one of the easiest and most effective ways to protect yourself and your family. A smart smoke detector will give you an instant warning which can greatly reduce fire-related accidents. Another great thing about having smart devices at home is that they allow you to monitor remotely. In case a fire breaks out while you’re not home, your smart smoke detectors can send you an alert on your phone, so you can call the fire department or ask a neighbor to check on your house.

Mind your electricals. A common cause of fires in the country is faulty electrical wiring. Make sure to hire professional help when you smell anything burning or see flickering or dimming lights, as well as discoloration or scorch marks on your outlets. If the members of your household are working or studying from home, make sure to not overload your power outlets. Plug in only the appliances and devices that are necessary and don’t leave anything plugged in overnight. That way, you not only get to keep your house safe but also save money on energy bills.

Keep plants away from fire source. During quarantine, many have tried fostering their green thumb. Always be mindful of where you place your potted plants because they can easily catch fire. It’s also best not to have them in the kitchen. Instead, put them where they will be safe and aesthetically pleasing. Additionally, don’t put out cigarette butts in the soil of the plants. Most potting soils contain large volumes of peat moss, shredded wood, bark, and vermiculite – all of which are highly flammable.

Have an immediate emergency contact. Even if you try to be safe, emergencies can still happen anytime. AXA Philippines provides an enhanced emergency response service through Rescue Line, which is available for free for everyone. It’s a special 24/7 service accessible through Emma by AXA mobile app if you need emergency response such as in case of a fire, among other things. Rescue Line has a dedicated command center so you can receive help directly from the nearest fire station, thanks to its nationwide coverage. It also notifies not only the authorities but also your nominated loved ones simultaneously.

Hot May: The Summer Outings and Election Special!

May this year is really a one hot month! Two hottest things are going and about to happen. Are you ready for these two hot things?!

Well, these two things are my special features for this month! What are those? Why did they make the month of May even hotter? Wanna know them? Here they are:

The Hot 2010 Election

The Hot Summer Outings

After you learned and enjoyed the anniversary special of the history of my blogs series last April, let's unwind for a while and feel hot!

My first offer for this month is all about the 2010 election. One week to go before the much-awaited presidential election. So expect that I will feature some election related post. But don't feel nervous or tired about election news 'coz in my upcoming posts, I will feature the funny side of election. It's more about humor on election! Let's counter-attack the heat of this election as I put laughter on it!

The second one is all about summer outings! Every summer season, all of us really feel fun under the sun with the different summer outings we have. Like in my case, I have different outing lineups to join. One was our recently concluded company outings in the beach of Batangas while others are the upcoming team outing in either Laguna, Cavite, or Bulacan, the outing together with my former publication family, and the cool get-together reunion with my college 'Biagaon Barkada' in Puerto Gallera! I can't promise that I could join them all. But it's sure that I will make special feature about these hang-outs!

So excited to be in The Rock Land this month of May? I know you really are! Expect also that I will feature some of my past cool summer trips which happened on the previous years!

Feel hot, hot, hot this May as we unfold these two hot stuffs! Enjoy! C",)
