Three Items to Throw Away After a Fire

10/9/2023 (Permalink)

Firefighting measures can impact the safety of household items.

If you recently experienced fire damage in your Hopkinsville home, you may be wondering what you should throw away and what you should try to salvage. Some items are definitely worth saving, while others need to be tossed. Here are three things you should get rid of if they have been present during a fire.

1. Food

Food can be chemically changed after being exposed to high heat, making it unsafe for consumption. It can also come in contact with water and other substances while the fire is being put out. If you have any doubts about a food or it was found opened, charred or soaking wet, it needs to be put in the garbage, particularly if it is perishable.

2. Cosmetics

Throw away your makeup or skincare products if they look to be burned or seem to have been damaged in another way by the fire. They may not be safe to use on your body after being exposed to different elements such as smoke and firefighting chemicals.

3. Medicine

Like food and cosmetics, medicine either goes on or in your body. As a result, it needs to be kept at a regulated temperature and away from any materials that could harm you if your body comes into contact with them. Do not hesitate to dispose of them if they seem to be damaged in any way or if you have your misgivings about holding on to them.

While it may seem that there are many things you have to throw away after a fire, there are also many objects that a fire restoration company can help you salvage. Some of these things include clothing, documents and household valuables. Do some thorough research - you will be happily surprised to learn that there are many belongings that you will be able to save after a fire, helping you ease yourself back into a more normal life. If you have experienced fire damage, SERVPRO of Christian, Todd, Logan and Simpson Counties is here to help 24/7. Give us a call at 270-885-8811.

Fires Can Happen Year Round

6/21/2022 (Permalink)

There are many hazards that can lead to a fire at your home or business in the summer months.  At SERVPRO we want to make you aware of these hazards so you can help protect your home and family.

1. Grill Fires:  Grill fires are the leading cause of fires in the summer.  Many people are grilling for their families, holidays and outings.  Make sure to maintain your grill and keep it a safe distance from home, buildings, furniture, gas tanks or anything flammable.

2.  Air Conditioning Fires: Air conditioners come in at number 2 for leading causes of fires in the summer.  Make sure your air conditioner is properly installed and well maintained to ensure safety as well as performance.

3.  Arson Fires:  While year round, arson fires are number 3 in causes of fire loss, injuries and fatalities in the summer months. 

A few other things to keep an eye on are smokers, fireworks, outdoor firepits and trash burning. 

At SERVPRO we are always "Here to Help".  We are available 24/7 for your needs.
