Did you know? 

The National Fire Protection Agency has said that hoarding can increase your risk of dying in a fire for a number of reasons including:

- Falling objects or obstructed exits/entrances for fire safety personnel.

- The weight of stored objects during fire or flood can actually increase, causing your home to collapse.

- Fires may ignite simply because of objects stacked against older electrical outlets or worn electrical wires.
