Stop, Drop, And Catch Me Outside!

12/13/2024 (Permalink)

As it begins to freeze outside and heaters and electricity use increases, so does the instance of fire damage to homes and businesses. You should always have your HVAC systems and vents maintained and inspected yearly to keep your home safe and warm.

But sometimes, even with extra precautions a fire can occur. That's why it is always important to have an escape plan for your family. It's best to talk with your family members to have a meeting point outside and a plan to get out of the house quickly. 

For many children it helps to have a map of the house with exits drawn out placed where they can see it daily and have it memorized. A good location may be on the fridge. Picking a safe meeting point outside they know well is best, so even in a panic they will know to go there and wait.

After everyone gets out safely and firefighters put out the flames, give SERVPRO® a call to repair the damage at (717)484-0007.
