How to Prevent Your Home from a Fire

9/16/2020 (Permalink)

Fire prevention is more important than many may realize. Fire safety can make all the difference in fire-prone areas and can help to prevent wildfires from spreading in dry, hot locations. Rather than letting a normal fire get out of hand, keep it contained by arming your home with the appropriate fire protections.

1. Clear your home’s surroundings of debris and combustible materials.

2. Maintain your lawn and keep bushes and trees trimmed.

3. Use fire-resistant materials when building or updating your home.

4. Make sure your home has a fully functioning fire alarm system.

5. Keep a shovel and fire extinguisher in an easily accessible place.

6. Practice appropriate fire safety measures with campfires.

7. Prepare a fire safety plan.

Taking these precautions into mind, if your home suffers fire damage and needs remediation you should immediately call SERVPRO of Simi Valley at 805-522-2945.
