Fires can be especially devastating to your home or business. After the fire trucks leave, your property will likely suffer from not only fire and smoke damage, but also widespread water damage and flooding from firefighting efforts. SERVPRO of Edgewater/Deale-Churchton/Lothian has specialized fire and water damage restoration training and experience to quickly clean up and restore your home to pre-fire condition. We can remove the pervasive smoke odor and deep-clean soot from upholstery and carpet. 

Statistics show that home fires claim the life of one child every day and approximately 16 children are injured from fires or burns every hour. Over 85% of all fire-related deaths are due to home fires, which spread quickly and often leave as little as 2 minutes to escape.

Fire safety tips:

  • Install smoke alarms on every level of your home and in every sleeping area.
  • Teach kids to never play with matches and lighters and store these up and away from children.
  • Create and practice a home fire escape plan with 2 ways out of your house. 
  • Teach your children to get low and get out when they hear the smoke alarm.
  • Use common sense in the kitchen. Pay attention when cooking and never leave a hot oven or cooktop unattended.
