Ackerman also recommends not overusing extension cords and making sure the wire gauge is heavy enough to support powered devices in your home.  He adds that eliminating clutter around your house and fireplaces can reduce the chance of a fire starting and spreading quickly.  You can find a list of tips on home fire prevention and safety here.
