Like the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), we are big fans of smoke detectors. These devices have improved a lot since the 1970s, when just thinking about barbeque sent them shrieking, until now, when they are sensitive enough to save lives without causing false alarms.

Smoke detectors can prevent small fires from turning into larger ones, but because fires move faster than Olympic runners (or even toddlers), the NFPA stresses that their main purpose is to provide families with the time to escape.

The most valuable part of a household is always the family – always.

If a fire blazes through even part of your home, you may be surprised by how much damage it caused. Small fires can cause huge amounts of smoke, and smoke travels far from the flames, doing extensive damage until it is professionally removed.

Water, from burst pipes or firefighting, causes its own damage.

Insurance companies usually require homeowners hire professional remediation and restoration companies because non-professionals lack the equipment and training to save as much of the structure and as many belongings as can professionals. At SERVPRO of Aitkin, Carlton & West St. Louis Counties, we have been serving this area since 2015, and have been doing restoration and related work for several years longer.
