Winter Fire Hazard!

Fire Damage

Cold freezing temperatures, wind, fog and rain are some of the winter elements that we encounter on the central coast. We tend to stay at home more often during the winter but did you know that most house fires happen during the winter season?

Some of the most common causes are heaters, fireplaces, candles, dry Christmas trees and even cooking/kitchen accidents. To help stay clear of any house fires here are a few tips to keep in mind:

Make sure heaters are clear of any flammable contents in case of a tip over, fireplace is clean of any debris and has a screen. Candles should be blown out every time you leave the room, Christmas trees should be disposed of properly and last but not least don't have too many cooks in the kitchen and always keep an eye on the stove.

Have a wonderful winter season but if the unexpected does occur, call SERVPRO® of San Luis Obispo (805) 541-1271 like it didn't even happen.
