From our SERVPRO family to yours we want to thank our veterans, and wish everyone a safe and happy 4th of July.

We experience about 18,500 fires a year. Most of these fires are reported on 4^th of July than any other day of the year.

Here are 5 easy and important tips you can follow to help protect your home from a fire.

1. Clean gutters- Don’t forget your roof! Your summer cleaning should include a little maintenance time to your roof top. By doing this, you are playing it safe and removing any kind of debris that could be used as fuel for a fire.

2. Put a sprinkler in the front and back- Keep your lawn moist! You want to prevent a spark or even a falling (but still lit firework on your yard.

3. Remove dry brush from your home and surroundings- People often don’t think of this one as we may keep up with our daily yard cleaning, but always take a double look outside for any bark, branches or twigs. Even if you are not planning on having fireworks this year in your home, falling fireworks may still land lit and can lead to an unexpected fire

4. Trim Trees- Removing any hanging branches will help prevent any trees getting lit by a fly away spark or firework.
