Our professionals will pretest the soot residues to determine the best method of cleaning, helping to ensure no lingering odors.

Prepare an emergency supply kit. Include items such as non-perishable food, water, battery-powered radio, extra flashlights and batteries. (you may want to prepare an extra one and leave it in your car).

Make a family emergency plan. Your family may not all be together when disaster strikes, so it is important to know how to contact one another, and what plans to execute during that trying time.

Design and landscape around your house with fire-safety in mind.

• Wear protective clothing
• Take your emergency supply kit
• Lock your home or business

• Choose a route away from fire hazards
• Close windows, vents, doors, blinds, or noncombustible window coverings
• Shut off all utilities; if possible
• Move flammable furniture into the center of the room.
• Turn off propane tanks
• Wet or remove shrubs within 15 feet or the home or business.
