Keep Marietta's Fall Fire-Free

10/8/2019 (Permalink)

Cleaning the gutters is very important to the upkeep of your home or business. Clogged gutters often result in water intrusion which can be costly.

The fall season brings cooler temperatures, beautiful colors, and an abundance of outdoor activities. Plan ahead this season to help ensure it is safe and fire-free fall. If we all work together being safety conscious, we can make Marietta fire-free this fall. SERVPRO of Marietta West has put together the following guidelines to help you and your family have a fire safe fall.

• Fall decorations, like dried flowers and cornstalks, are highly flammable. Keep these and  other decorations away from open flames and heat sources, including light bulbs and heaters.
• Keep emergency exits clear of decorations so nothing blocks escape routes.
• Teach children to stay away from open flames. Be sure they know how to stop, drop, and roll if their clothing catches fire.
• Remember safety first when choosing a Halloween costume. Consider avoiding billowing fabric. If you are making your costume, choose materials that won’t easily ignite if it comes into contact with heat or a flame.
• It is safest to use a flashlight or battery-operated candle in a jack-o-lantern. Use extreme caution if using a real candle. Place lit pumpkins away from anything that can burn and out of the way of doorsteps, walkways, and yards.
