Fires can be devastating to businesses in the Waterford, Fairview, Albion, and surrounding areas community. That is why we are here with a guide on how to prepare, and ultimately recover, from a commercial fire!

Preparation

Before a fire even occurs, you should be monitoring possible fire hazards. If your Waterford company works with flammable materials, you should be extra cautious. However, just like in homes the biggest cause of office fires are coming from the kitchen, as reported by the NFPA. Along with those two hazards, check your heating and cooling systems as well as electrical outlets. Monitoring these hazards are important to preventing fires in Lake City, Platea, Tidioute, and surrounding areas businesses.

It is also important to have a Fire Escape Plan  ready for your Waterford employees. These consist of planning escape routes, knowing where to meet outside, knowing how to contact everyone and emergency services, and more. Make sure to practice your plan frequently!
