SERVPRO of Annapolis/Severna Park is a leader in giving control back to homeowners, property managers, and even entire communities after the ravaging effects of a fire. A fire is always difficult and especially during the holiday season. Here’s a few holiday season tips to keep your property safe:

• Before guests arrive for the holidays, check your smoke alarm batteries.
• Get your chimney checked by a professional before lighting the fireplace.
• Keep candles away from flammable materials, better yet use flameless candles.
• Unattended cooking is the leading cause of house fires.
• Keep an eye on what you fry! Most cooking fires start when frying food.
• During the holidays, do not overload extension cords.
• Keep space heaters on a single electrical cord and at least three feet away from flammable objects.
• Always turn off holiday lights at night or when you leave your home or office.
