Firebrands
Did you know that burning embers or firebrands can travel anywhere from one-quarter of a mile up to one mile in the wind? Fire embers result from fireplaces or backyard fire pits, wildfires or structure fires, and even from fireworks in some cases. According to a report from the National Fire Protection Association, (NFPA), firebrands are thought to one of the main sources of fire ignition in wildland-urban interface areas. They can land on structures and ignite vegetation and other combustibles. SERVPRO® of St. Clair Shores wants residents and business owners of Warren to rest assured that we are fire damage restoration specialists and have highly trained technicians ready to respond to any size fire damage emergency. Here are some prevention safety tips from the NFPA:
- Remove flammable vegetation from the roof, roof gutters, and on and under decking
- Screen areas below decks and porches with one-eighth wire mesh to prevent materials from accumulating
- Cover exterior vents with one-eighth wire mesh to prevent sparks from entering your home
- Enclose eves and cover ends of tiles with bird stops to prevent ember entry
