A Fire Safety Plan is a Great Idea

A recent fire in Rembert Sc. caused by lightning.

In just a matter of minutes a home can be destroyed by fire. No matter what the cause of the fire is, be sure to have a plan for safe evacuation. 

If a fire is caused by lightning that hits the roof of a home, it can ignite insulation and travel the length of your attic in a matter of minutes. A sprinkler system, smoke detectors, and even carbon monoxide detectors can be the difference in safely exiting an fire. 

Planning a fire safety meeting with your family every 3 to 6 months is a great idea. Make sure that all the exits are free of blocking hazards, and your family knows  that when they hear the smoke alarm go off to follow the fire safety plan. 

It is alway a good idea to sleep with bedroom doors shut. This will help to eliminate some of the hazards that come with fire damage. 

And as always, remember SERVPRO of Sumter is here to help make it "Like it never even happened."
