SERVPRO of Tracy has some tips to prevent fire at home or business..

Main cause of house fires and the best way to avoid them are:

• When cooking do not leave your pot unattended.
• Stay in the kitchen all the time when cooking, especially when using oil. Pans can easily overheat and grease can spatter and will only take seconds to cause a fire.
• Have a qualified electrical technician inspect your home heating system annually. 
• Keep space heaters away from anything that can burn and set them on floor only.
• Keep candles in a sturdy holder and blow them out before leaving the room.
• Electrical appliances check for loose or frayed plugs and wires. 
• Keep matches and lighters away from children room and out of reach.
• If a fire breaks out, every second counts, protect yourself and your love ones.
• Have a fire plan in place before disaster strikes.
