We are trusted leaders in fire restoration in San Diego County.

Do you know that your pet could start a fire by bumping into, turning on, or knocking over cooking equipment? Pets are curious and can cause fires. SERVPRO^® of Mission Valley East responds to fire damage emergencies throughout the year in Serra Mesa. According to the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), pets and wild animals play a role in starting over 750 home fires each year.

Here are some pet fire safety tips from the NFPA to keep your pets safe around fire:

• Keep pets away from stoves and countertops
• Keep pets away from candles, lamps, and space heaters
• Always use a metal or heat-tempered glass screen on a fireplace and keep it in place
• Keep pets away from a chimney’s outside vents.
• Have a “pet-free zone” of at least three feet away from the fireplace. Glass doors and screens can stay dangerously hot for several hours after the fire goes out.
• Some pets are chewers. Watch pets to make sure they don’t chew through electrical cords. Have any problems checked by a professional.
