Fire Prevention

As we welcome the beautiful fall season, filled with vibrant leaves and cozy gatherings, it’s essential to keep fire safety at the forefront of our minds. SERVPRO® wants you to enjoy all of the seasonal fun while taking the necessary precautions to protect your home and loved ones.
If you’re planning to burn leaves or have a bonfire, please remember to CHECK THE WIND ADVISORIES IN YOUR AREA FIRST! Windy conditions can quickly escalate a small fire into a dangerous situation. Always ensure you have a clear area free of flammable materials and keep a water source nearby just in case.
Here are a few more fire prevention tips to keep in mind this fall:
1. Inspect Your Fire Pit: Make sure your fire pit is in good condition and located away from structures, trees, and other flammable materials.
2. Use Safe Burning Practices: Only burn dry leaves and avoid burning on windy days. Consider composting leaves as a safer alternative!
3. Check Your Smoke Alarms: With the change of seasons, it’s a great time to test your smoke alarms and replace batteries if needed.
4. Keep an Eye on Candles: If you’re lighting candles for ambiance, never leave them unattended and keep them away from decorations.
