Avoiding a Fire on Friday the 13th

Stay safe.

Since October is Fire Prevention Month, we thought we would help you avoid bad luck when it comes to fires on this Friday the 13^th.

First of all, everyone in your house should know to “Stop, Drop, and Roll” if ever caught on fire. Secondly, remember to “Stay Low and Go” if you find yourself and in a burning building. A few other simple measures to take would be to have sprinklers installed in your home, make sure smoke detectors are in working order, and have a fire extinguisher somewhere in the house (we suggest the kitchen). These simple little fire prevention ideas can help you avoid some bad luck this Friday the 13^th. You can also learn more through the City of Cape Girardeau's Public Education Programs.

And if you’re not so lucky and have a house fire, don’t hesitate to call the professionals at SERVPRO of Cape Girardeau & Scott Counties. We will help make your fire damage “Like it never even happened.”
