We respond to fire damage emergencies 24-hours a day in Will and DuPage Counties.

SERVPRO® of Plainfield/Naperville South responds to fire damage emergencies often during the winter months and offer these fire safety tips from the National Fire Protection Association:

• Watch your cooking
  Stay in the kitchen when you are frying, grilling, or broiling food
• Give space heaters space
  Keep fixed and portable space heaters at least three feet from anything that can burn. Turn off heaters when you leave the room or go to sleep.
• Keep matches and lighters out of reach
• Inspect electrical cords
  Replace cords that are cracked, damaged, have broken plugs, or have loose connections
• Be careful when using candles
  Keep candles at least one foot from anything that can burn. Blow out candles when you leave the room or go to sleep.
• Have a home fire escape plan
  Make a home fire escape plan and practice it at least twice a year.
• Install smoke alarms
  Install smoke alarms on every level of your home, inside bedrooms, and outside sleeping areas. Interconnect smoke alarms throughout the house. When one sounds, they all sound.
• Test smoke alarms
  Test smoke alarms at least once a month and replace batteries once a year or when the alarm “chirps” to tell you the battery is low. Replace any smoke alarm that is more than ten years old.
