Fire Season is Upon Us

11/8/2021 (Permalink)

We all love the holiday season. There’s nothing better than getting together with family and friends, eating incredible food and taking a few days off for a celebration.

Here at SERVPRO, the months from November through January have a slightly different connotation. That’s because home fires peak in these colder times.

While home fires can certain happen anytime, fall and winter are absolutely the worst times of the year. The reasons for this vary, but the major issue is that there are simply more potential causes of fire when it gets colder out. Furnaces and fireplaces designed to heat your home can malfunction and cause major disasters. Candles, a common holiday decoration, can easily catch draperies on fire if not properly attended.

This holiday season, take time to enjoy yourself. But also remember to stay safe.
