October marks Fire Prevention Month, a time to focus on protecting your home and family from the devastating effects of fires. At SERVPRO of South Fleming Island/North Bradford County, we are dedicated to helping our community stay safe through fire prevention education. But when the unexpected happens, our fire damage restoration experts are ready to assist you in restoring your home or business quickly and efficiently.

Why Fire Prevention Month Matters

Fire Prevention Month, observed in October, reminds us of the importance of fire safety and preparedness. Even though we often think, "It won't happen to me," house fires can strike unexpectedly and have devastating effects. Here are a few essential fire prevention tips:

• Check smoke alarms regularly and replace batteries as needed.
• Keep space heaters and flammable items at least three feet apart.
• Never leave cooking unattended and always turn off the stove when you’re finished.
• Inspect electrical wiring for any frayed cords or overloaded outlets.
• Have a family escape plan and practice fire drills so everyone knows what to do in an emergency.

Even with the best prevention efforts, fires can still happen. That’s where SERVPRO® steps in to help you recover.
