Home fires are a daily reality in the U.S., with statistics from the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) showing that an estimated 358,500 home fires occur every year. It is also estimated that nearly 4,000 Americans die every year in home fires. Losing your home or a loved one to a home fire is a scary thought, but there are measures you can take to prevent home fires.
At Tidal Wave Response, we’ve compiled practical tips that will help you prevent home fires and protect your family and home.
Inspect Your Heating Systems Regularly
Heating systems such as space heaters, furnaces, boilers, heat pumps, and fireplaces are among the leading causes of home fires. Failing to maintain heating systems regularly and leaving them unattended significantly increases the risk of fire. It’s advisable to have all the heating systems you use in your home inspected regularly to ensure they’re working properly. You should also keep flammable items away from heating sources.
Pay Attention When Cooking
Cooking-induced fires are among the main causes of home fires in the U.S. If you’re cooking, ensure you avoid interruptions and never leave the kitchen unattended when cooking any kind of food. If you must leave the kitchen, turn off the stove or let someone else watch over the food. You should also clean your cookware to prevent grease and fat from building up over time.
Store Flammable Products Safely
Most homes are full of flammable products which tend to combust when placed close to heating sources. You should ensure flammable items such as household cleaners, hand sanitizers, paints, and cosmetics are stored in a cool dry place.
Practice Safe Habits
You can prevent a home fire by following these rules.
John came out within 2 hours of our call for help. Within 4 hours of him coming out his team was hear ripping up our basement and saving it from mold. I owe them 40k because that's what it would have cost if they didn't help as quick as they did. Will tell all 3 of my friends about them. Rob also great and so was the team, so professional, so quick.
I had some water damage above my garage after a plumbing incident and was very upset about it. Thankfully Justin and his team at tidal wave made the experience easy and much less of a headache. His team took out the damaged drywall did a full restoration and cleaned up after themselves. Made my damaged ceiling look brand new.
We thought Tidal Wave did great work with our water damage remediation and repair. Everyone who showed up was professional and skillful. We had some challenges with scheduling communications and delays but everyone was generally responsive and helpful. We appreciated that they were a one stop shop that could handle everything for us. We would definitely recommend Tidal Wave to others.
Tidal Wave is one of a kind! I had a pipe that burst and they responded the same day! The team lead, Chris, was extremely professional and courteous. He assured me that I would be taken care of and I was totally impressed with their swift response time. The owner, Johnny, called and told me he was sorry I had experienced water damage in my home and also assured me that everything would be fine. The project manager, Justin, was also extremely kind and provided me with beautiful replacement floor samples. Once my floors are finished, I’m going to submit…
Talk about a company that lives up to it`s name! Called them in the morning within an hour Rob a very professional representative showed up at the house and helped me file a claim. Twenty minutes later a crew showed up and began demo. A few hours later Tidal Wave Response had figured out the leak was gone. Everything happened so fast and efficiently. They helped us understand what our insurance covered and guaranteed the demo would be covered by insurance or them. We are so happy to be working with this company and highly recommend them.
What a great company! I called to ask questions and within minutes I was scheduling someone to come to my home and save me from my water damage. Very responsive and the demo crew was amazing and professional!! The repairs to my Kitchen are about to start and I cant wait to see the end result! Thank you Tidal Wave!!
Very, very professional from start to finish. Crew came into my home removed all of the damage items that was damaged by a water leak from the upper level of the home. Worked very fast and cleaned up behind themselves as if they were never there. It was like watch a action movie. Setup the dryers and other equipment very fast also and organized our furniture so that we could get to things as needed. Tidal Wave made a very bad situation feel okay, I`m thankful that we chose you guys. Again thanks for being so professional and responsive
I could not have been more pleased with my experience with Tidal Wave! Their response time was impressive and Michael did an excellent job walking me through the process. The entire crew was hard working, fast and courteous. I would 100% recommend Tidal Wave.
We had a water damage in our home and we Googled water damage restoration. We had 2 companies come out for an inspection and... Honestly we were very pleased with the punctuality & knowledge of Rob at Tidal Wave Response. He was very soft and well spoken and listened to our concerns about our home. Rob showed a very compassionate side of how a service professional treats his customer. Our choice was Tidal Wave Response based on their outstanding reviews and knowledge of insurance claims. Tidal Wave also met with the claims adjuster for our property damage inspection. This was…
We highly recommend Tidal Wave Response! Johnny came out late last night to assess a failed water heater that flooded our finished basement. He coordinated with Mr. Rooter Plumbing to have a plumber dispatched at 11:45PM who confirmed the water was shut off and put some emergency repairs in place to ensure no further damage would occur. This morning at 7:10 AM (20 minutes earlier than expected) the Tidal Wave Response team was on site at our house. They assessed the damage, and assisted us in contacting our home owners insurance company to create our insurance claim. They preformed the…
My upstairs bathroom overflowed. The water ran into two of my bedrooms and the hallway. My wife called Tidal Wave and they were at our home in less than an hour. Johnny`s team came out and were very quick and professional. They sucked up the water set equipment and the supervisor explained the process. They even offered to do our repairs and said they would handle it all. My wife and I are very pleased so far. I will make it my business to recommend this company to family and friends. This company is honest, and gets the job done.
So far GREAT!!! They came right out, took out wet walls, cleaned up perfectly (no dust) set up fans. I’m going to use them to put the walls back up and paint too! They are going to meet with my field insurance agent, too, to make sure everything is covered. Fingers crossed they continue to be great!
Electrical voltage spikes or surges carry a risk of electrical fires, especially when you've not installed surge protectors. You should consider installing a whole-house surge protector to safeguard your plug-in electronics from electrical surges.
It’s also a good idea to inspect your electrical wiring from time to time to check for signs of damage. Exposed cords can come into contact with water and start a fire.
Smoke detectors provide an early warning of a potential fire, allowing you to catch the problem before the situation gets out of hand. Ensure you inspect your smoke detectors at least once every month to ensure they’re in good condition.
Keep A Fire Extinguisher in Your House
It's recommended to keep a fire extinguisher on every floor in your house in case a fire breaks out.
