Kitchen fires are most common reasons for home fires
10/16/2017 (Permalink)
October is home fire prevention month so all month long SERVPRO® of Tigard/Tualatin will be bringing you tips and information from the Red Cross on how to prevent fire and save lives. Each year, the Red Cross responds to nearly 64,000 disasters, the majority of which are home fires resulting in about 7 deaths and 36 injuries every day and over $7 billion in property damage every year. The Red Cross reports that most home fires occur in the kitchen during cooking, usually on stovetops, not the oven as some may think. Be sure to say in the kitchen when cooking, frying, or grilling on your stove top. For more tips on home fire safety and prevention contact SERVPRO® of Tigard/Tualatin & SERVPRO® of Beaverton at 503-684-5829, we are ready to help you make it “Like it never even happened.” #SERVPROTigard #SERVPRO #LikeItNeverEvenHappened #HereToHelp #ReBuildingStories #FirePreventionMonth
