SERVPRO of Gold Coast/Lincoln Park/Lakeview

The United States Fire Administration (USFA) says that our country has a fire problem because we have should be able to prevent more fires (residential, commercial, and wild) than we do. Further, contemporary homes are made with plastics and other materials that burn hotter and faster than wood and other natural materials, so residential fires can be more dangerous.

Therefore: when the smoke alarms go off: get out of the house.

We hope, of course, that any fires are small and easily contained.

You may be surprised at how much damage even small fires can do to your home.

After a Fire

The American Red Cross reports that residential fires are one of the most stressful events a family can go through. Contact them for resources to help you cope.

Things to Do:

• If the fire was substantial, you and your family members should seek medical care for check-ups. Don’t forget your pets; they may have suffered from respiratory damage or burns as well.
• You may need a place to stay.
• Don’t go into the house until the firefighters say it is safe.
• SERVPRO of Gold Coast/Lincoln Park/Lakeview provides board-ups, roof tarps, and temporary fences. We also provide temporary power if you need it.
