Check Your Fire Alarms This Winter

1/19/2022 (Permalink)

The winter months are cold, and there’s no way around it.  And because of this, we want to be huddled inside and warm.  In our quest to maintain a warm temperature, many residents of Fairfield County turn to heating methods like fireplaces and wood stoves.  These methods are relatively safe when operated correctly. But even if we practice safety, there is still a chance that a fire may break out.  This is why the winter months account for most of the annual home fires reported by property owners.

That is why we’re reminding you to check your fire and smoke alarms before anything happens.  If you have battery powered alarms, replace the batteries, especially if you haven't done so in a while. If your alarms are hard wired, test them to ensure that they are in working order.  Having working fire and smoke alarms is an important defense against property damage, but more importantly, for keeping you and your family safe.

It is important to contact a certified fire damage remediation professional as soon as you are aware of damage. SERVPRO of Trumbull, Monroe & Northern Bridgeport has over 30 years of experience working with people who need fire damage restoration at their home or business property.  If you have any type of property damage, call us immediately at 203.324.1642.
