Fire Prevention: Heating your Home or Business Safely

12/22/2016 (Permalink)

Winter in Central Oregon has finally arrived this week.  Now is a great time to consider the safety tips that you could implement in your home or business to help prevent a fire.

Did you know that 32% of home heating fires are caused by space heaters?  Also, more home fires occur during the winter months than any other time of the year. When using a space heater, make sure that it is in an area where there are no obstructions and loose, possibly flammable items are plenty of distance from the source of the heat.

The team at SERVPRO of Bend wish everyone a safe and warm winter season.  Stay warm, but most importantly, stay safe.
