Fires and the Holidays

8/12/2019 (Permalink)

For most the holiday season is the best time of the year. We get to see friends and family that we normally don't get see. Happiness almost feels like its at a all time high. Unfortunately for some, the holidays prove to breathe disaster. On average, one of every 45 reported home fires began with a Christmas tree, that can result in fatal injury. You know how highly flammable turpentine is? Well, it’s made from pine trees. According to the USFA, a Christmas tree is almost explosive in nature when it come in contact with open flames. Thanksgiving is also a peak time for home cooking fires, followed by Christmas. Tis the season the be careful. Here at SERVPRO of Katy/Cypress we urge the awesome people who make up our connected community to help one another and help prepare for this next holiday season. For any question on how to do this, please contact SERVPRO of Katy/Cypress.
