Fire Safety Tips for Rockwell Pets

2/2/2021 (Permalink)

We are on call 24 hours a day to respond to fire damage emergencies in Rowan County.

The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) reports that pets and wild animals are partly responsible for starting over 750 home fires each year. SERVPRO® of North Rowan County/Salisbury responds to fire damage emergencies throughout the year in Rockwell, and offer these pet fire safety tips from the NFPA:

• Pets are curious. They may bump into, turn on, or knock over cooking equipment. Keep pets away from stoves and countertops.
• Keep pets away from candles, lamps, and space heaters.
• Always use a metal or heat-tempered glass screen on a fireplace and keep it in place.
• Keep pets away from a chimney’s outside vents. Have a “pet-free zone” of at least 3 feet (1 meter) away from the fireplace. Glass doors and screens can stay dangerously hot for several hours after the fire goes out.
• Consider battery-operated, flameless candles. They can look and smell like real candles.
• Some pets are chewers. Watch pets to make sure they don’t chew through electrical cords. Have any problems checked by a professional.
