Holiday Fire Safety

12/17/2020 (Permalink)

SERVPRO of Kennett Square/Oxford hopes that everyone has a wonderful holiday season!  While this time of year is full of joy, we would like to remind you to stay safe and take precautions.  This guide from FEMA and the National Fire Protection Association outlines some of the dangers and precautions you can take in order to prevent property or fire damage during your holiday.

After the Christmas season, it is also important to remove your tree before it dries out since this is a fire hazard.  Please dispose of your tree promptly after the holidays and utilize your community’s recycling program if possible.

To limit the risk of electrical fire damage, do not pull the cord to remove a plug from an outlet, since this will cause a risk.  Remember to inspect lights for damages before packing them for next year.  Wrap each set of lights separately and store them in a dry and safe place.

We hope that everyone has a happy holiday!  Should you need our fire cleanup and restoration services, our team is here for you with 24/7 immediate assistance.  We’re here to help make any holiday disaster “Like it never even happened.”
