Fire damages can occur in commercial facilities!

SERVPRO® of Warrick, Spencer, and Dubois Counties is here to help! 

Fire damages can occur in a commercial facility at any time. There are a lot of moving parts and moving people, which can create chaos. With chaos can come fire damages for a variety of reasons. The best way to combat that is to know what those reasons are and work around those with your team. A few of those reasons are listed below: 

Cooking

There were over 30,900 fires within the past decade, with cooking being the main part of that statistic. This is why it is so important to install fire alarms and sprinkler systems in your kitchen areas or anywhere something can be cooked.

Unintentional and Careless Behavior

Unintentional and careless behavior, better known as accidents, caused more than 10,900 fires. The best way to prevent this from happening to keep managers and crew chiefs in place that can keep an eye on what is happening in your facility. When someone is in charge and watching for accidents, they become much more preventable. 

Arson

Around 9,800 of the total fires in these properties are due to arson. While these can not be prevented beforehand keeping security cameras in place that are not attached to the building can help catch whoever started the fire.

Electrical malfunction

Problems with the electricity or wiring in a building caused around 7,000 fires in the past decade. 

Heating Issues 

HVAC systems that had not had regular maintenance in several years served for about 6,000 commercial fires nationwide. The best solution to keep these at bay is to have regular technicians catch these problems before they arise with regular check-ups for your systems.

When any of these damages occur, know that you have SERVPRO® of Warrick, Spencer, and Dubois Counties on your side.
