Most Common Valentine's Day Fire Hazards to Avoid

1. Leaving a candle unattended

It is imperative to have someone in the room where a candle is being used to prevent any fire damages.

2. Placing them next to inflammable objects

Placing a candle in a safe atmosphere is important. Try to keep them on a flat surface away from any drapes or other inflammable objects.  

3. Having an non-functioning fire alarm

A fire alarm should be functioning at all times throughout the year. Provide a service and inspection annually, to ensure your fire alarm is functioning properly.

4. Dismissing candle holders

Some individuals feel a candle holder is unnecessary, but this could lead to a dangerous situation. The candle holder will protect the candle from falling and keeping wax from unwanted areas.

If a fire damage occurs in your Newton Falls home call SERVPRO at (330) 392-6355 to restore the structure back to, "Like it never even happened."
