Hey Rochester MN!

Fire mitigation is one of two of our most common services we perform at SERVPRO of Rochester.  The other most common service is water mitigation. 

Are your fire prevention prepared in your home, office or apartment?

December, January and February are the three months when half  of all home heating fires occur. 

This is preventable with a few simple, mindful steps you can do in your home. 

1. Using a space heater? Don't use an extension cord with this appliance. 
2. Keep all items at least 3 feet away from space heaters or wall heaters. 
3. We all like to use candles. Keep candles at least 12 inches away from anything and everything. Make sure the candles are fully extinguished before leaving your home or going to bed. 
4. Want to be extra cautious? When leaving your home unplug any and all appliances, make sure your washer, dryer and dishwasher are not running. The National Fire Prevention Association recommends using battery operated flameless candles. 

Also, please check the batteries in all your smoke and carbon dioxide detectors regularly. 

If and when you are in need of fire or water mitigation services, please call SERVPRO of Rochester.
