We are trained and certified to restore fire damage in Charlottesville.

Do you know that decorations are the first thing to catch fire in about 800 reported home fires each year? Our local SERVPRO of Charlottesville team has been restoring fire damage for Charlottesville area residents and business owners for over many years, and we want everyone to have a safe and fire-free year.

We are sharing these safety tips from the National Fire Protection Association:

• Do not leave any candles unattended while lit and make sure the area surrounding candles is clear of any possible hazards
• Choose fire-resistant decorations to reduce the risk of fire. Avoid highly flammable materials in your decor.
• Keep decorations away from heat sources like candles, fireplaces, and heaters, maintaining a safe distance to prevent accidental ignition.
• Remember to turn off decorative lights when not in use to prevent overheating and electrical fires.
