Minimizing Garage Fire Risks

Fires can quickly render a garage a total loss and spread to the rest of your home. Use these tips to keep your property safe and minimize loss: 

• Never use an extension cord as a permanent power source for an appliance and avoid overloading outlets.
• The wall and door separating an attached garage from the rest of the home should be fire rated.
• Store a fire extinguisher near the garage's exit so you can safely douse a small fire before it can spread. 
• Contain flammable liquids like gasoline and motor oil in a space far away from potential ignition hazards.
• Never block exits in your garage and always have a quick escape plan in the event of a fire. 

SERVPRO Removes Residues

Fire damage requires special care to remove from a variety of surfaces. If your tools are covered in soot and soils from a fire, SERVPRO techs have a variety of methods available for restoring them. Dry-cleaning measures can eliminate loose, dry deposits from surfaces, while wet-cleaning techniques, including immersion and scrubbing, are effective for light to medium damages. Heavy soiling can usually be addressed with immersion in oil-based solvents.
