Accidents Don’t Happen on Purpose, But You Can Be Prepared!

In light of Fire Safety Month, we want to equip you with essential tips for safely returning home or to your business after a fire.

Safety First:

• Walk as little as possible through affected areas to prevent soot from embedding in carpets.
• Cover fabric items and carpets with old towels or sheets to minimize damage.
• If the electricity is turned off, empty your fridge and freezer to prevent spoilage.
• Wash houseplants from top to bottom to keep them healthy.
• Change your HVAC filter to ensure clean air circulation.
• Tape two layers of cheesecloth to all air vents to capture particles.
• Clean chrome items and coat them with petroleum jelly for protection.
• Avoid contact with any water or fire-damaged items.

Leave It to the Pros:
For cleaning your home and clothing, trust the experts! Regular cleaning methods can set smoke smells and lead to other issues.
