As the local leader in restoration from fire damage, SERVPRO of Minot want to keep you informed of ways to prevent fire from having a devastating impact on your life.

The Red Cross gives some excellent tips here:

• Install smoke alarms on every level of your home, inside bedrooms and outside sleeping areas. 
• Test smoke alarms every month. If they’re not working, change the batteries.
• Talk with all family members about a fire escape plan and practice the plan twice a year.
• If a fire occurs in your home, GET OUT, STAY OUT and CALL FOR HELP. Never go back inside for anything or anyone.

"Who should I contact if a fire happens?"

• Immediately dial 9-1-1 and have first responders there as soon as possible.
• Make sure anyone who was in the house is out, DO NOT go back into a burning building for any people, pets, or belongings, nothing is as important as your safety.
• Once the fire has been extinguished, contact your insurance provider and see what your policy covers
• Have them contact us, SERVPRO of Minot, and we will work with them for you, to make sure everything is restored to the perfect condition.
