Fire Risks in Rural Areas

3/17/2021 (Permalink)

Living in a rural area puts you and your family at higher risk for death, loss of property, emotional and economic impact from a fire. Here are common problems to look out for:

• Heating is one of the more common causes of residential fires and deaths.
• Heaters like wood stoves are the root of most heating fires. 
• Barn fires and other farm building fires are most often caused by damaged electrical equipment. 
• Rural homes and farm buildings are less likely to have smoke alarms. 

If your home or business experiences a fire disaster, be sure to contact a fire restoration company to remediate the damage.
