Fire Damage in Beckley Home?
2/8/2022 (Permalink)
Fires can happen at any time and for many reasons in Beckley. This fence burnt when someone dumped hot ashes from a wood stove into the home’s backyard’s garbage bins. SERVPRO® of Beckley offers these fire safety tips from the National Fire Protection Association:
- Watch your cooking
Stay in the kitchen when you are frying, grilling, or broiling food - Give space heaters space
Keep fixed and portable space heaters at least three feet from anything that can burn. Turn off heaters when you leave the room or go to sleep. - Keep matches and lighters out of reach
- Inspect electrical cords
Replace cords that are cracked, damaged, have broken plugs, or have loose connections - Be careful when using candles
Keep candles at least one foot from anything that can burn. Blow out candles when you leave the room or go to sleep. - Have a home fire escape plan
Make a home fire escape plan and practice it at least twice a year. - Test smoke alarms
Test smoke alarms at least once a month and replace batteries once a year or when the alarm “chirps” to tell you the battery is low. Replace any smoke alarm that is more than ten years old.
