What is the leading cause of house fires?
Many homes catch on fire every year and need to be cleaned up by our team here at SERVPRO. We remove contents from the home and take it to our building to be cleaned and stored during the fire restoration efforts. Here are some of the most common fires:
Grilling too close to the house
Running space heaters
Burning candles
Faulty electrical outlets
The leading cause of fires in the US is still smoking. In fact, according to the NFPA, smoking is also the leading cause of fire deaths in the US. If you are a smoker, please be careful and avoid smoking indoors or leaving cigarette butts to burn out on their own.
