New Year Fire Resolution

1/7/2022 (Permalink)

As we leave 2021 in the past and look forward to New Year resolutions for 2022, we begin the routine of preparing ourselves for the next chapter of our lives in a new year! Many of us prepare for a new fitness journey by eating healthy or prepare to purchase a new house by dialing back on unnecessary expenses. However, what steps have you taken to prepare for an unexpected fire emergency? Have you discussed with your family or team at work what to do before, during, and after a fire occurs? The American Red Cross offers great tips on preparation in the event of a fire for families. For businesses, OSHA offers resources and guides on how to prepare a business for fire safety, prevention, and preparation by OSHA standards. The most important tip any household or business can do to prepare is to make sure that every level of the structure has a fire alarm or fire alarms adequate to the square footage needed to alert all occupants in the case of a fire. Lastly, in the unfortunate event that you experience a fire emergency at home or at work, allow the professionals at SERVPRO of South Durham to get your home or business back to pre-fire condition “Like it never even happened.”
