A girl is shown holing a firework sparkler outside her home on a Summer night. We provide fire restoration services in Kaiser.

Gas-Fueled Grills Cause 84 Percent of Home Structure Fires in the U.S.

In a report published by The National Fire Protecting Association, (NFPA), 84 percent of all residential property fires were caused by gas-fueled grills, and most grill fires happened in the months of May, June, July, and August. SERVPRO® of Northeast Ontario/Kaiser has years of experience restoring residential fire damage in Ontario and offers these fire safety prevention tips for using propane grills from the NFPA:

  • Check for gas tank and hose leaks before using the grill for the first time each year.
    • Apply a light soap and water solution to the hose as a propane leak will release bubbles
    • If your grill has a gas leak, by smell or the soapy bubble test, and there is no flame, turn off both the gas tank and the grill
    • If the leak stops, get the grill serviced by a professional before using it again
    • If the leak does not stop, call the fire department
    • If you smell gas while cooking, immediately get away from the grill and call the fire department
    • Do not move the grill

Backyard Fire Safety

It’s Summertime and Ontario residents will be spending more time outdoors, taking advantage of the nice weather and longer days that the season brings. Many people install fire pits in their back yards and like to gather around the fire in the cool evening air to tell stories and socialize. The City of Ontario has outdoor fire rules and requires a permit to have a backyard fire so it will be important to check and see what is required to stay within the law. SERVPRO® of Northeast Ontario/Kaiser is on call 24 hours a day and can be onsite within four hours of your call to immediately begin the cleanup and restoration process should you experience property damage due to a fire of any kind. Here are some tips from The National Fire Protection Association and ReadyWV on fire pit safety:

  • Check wind direction before lighting a fire
  • Don’t use flammable fluids (gasoline, lighter fluid, etc.) to light or relight fires
  • Don’t wear flammable clothing (like nylon) or any loose-fitting clothing
  • Keep children and pets at least 3 feet away from the fire
  • Avoid using softwoods like pine or cedar, because they can “pop” and throw sparks
  • Keep a fire extinguisher, garden hose or bucket of water nearby

Thunderstorm preparedness in Northeast Ontario/Kaiser

Lightning striking through the sky Although you cannot prevent thunderstorms, you can prepare for them.

SERVPRO® of Northeast Ontario/Kaiser knows you cannot prevent a thunderstorm, but you can prepare:

  • Know the risk for thunderstorms in Northeast Ontario/Kaiser

  • Pay attention to alerts and warnings

If you can’t get inside a building:

  • If you are swimming or in a boat, get to land immediately.  Find shelter

  • “Turn around. Don’t Drown. '' Avoid flooded roads. 6 inches of moving water can knock you down. One foot of moving water can sweep away your car. 

A lightning strike during a thunderstorm can leave a wake of destruction in its path. This can range from minor electrical issues to fire damage. Lightning is also a major cause of injury or death from weather-related dangers.  Most people survive being hit by lightning, but they often have long-term problems.

An old poem has the line, “water, water, everywhere”. When you need to say this in your home or office, you know there is trouble. You may be looking at water damage. There are several different possible causes of water damage in Northeast Ontario/Kaiser.

Causes can include:

  • Leaky dishwashers or washing machines
  • Clogged pipes
  • Leaking roofs
  • Broken toilet pipes
  • Heavy rain
  • Snow or ice

The amount of water damage depends on the amount of water and on the cause of the damage. 

It is also important to start the cleanup as soon as possible. The longer your home or business is water-logged, the more damage.

Categories of Water Damage in Northeast Ontario/Kaiser:

  1. Clean water. It might come from an overflowing sink or a broken appliance. The water does not pose a threat to people. Keep in mind that any water will become contaminated after it stops flowing.
