We respond to fire damage emergencies 24-hours a day in Macomb County.

SERVPRO^® of St. Clair Shores responds to many fire damage emergencies throughout the year in St. Clair Shores, often arriving as The City of St. Clair Shores Fire Department is rolling up their hoses and leaving the scene. Here are some candle fire safety tips from the St. Clair Shores Fire Department’s website:

• Place candles on stable furniture, in sturdy holders that will catch dripping wax
• Never leave a candle unattended
• If the power goes out, use flashlights for illumination; not candles
• Keep candles away from anything that can catch fire
• Place candles on higher furniture where they won’t be knocked over by children or pets
• Never place lit candles in windows where they could ignite curtains or blinds
• Don’t allow children or teens to have candles in their bedrooms
• Ask questions about the candles and candle-holders you buy. There are new standards that major manufacturers will follow to make sure the candles and candleholders won’t break, tip over, or otherwise malfunction in ordinary use.
• Extinguish candles carefully, using a long-handled candle snuffer or a soft, directed breath. Be careful not to splatter wax when extinguishing.
