4th of July House Fire

Fireworks cause an average of almost 20,000 reported fires per year, on Independence Day in a typical year, fireworks account for two out of five of all reported fires, more than any other cause of fire.

In the before and after pictures you see above, SERVPRO of Carson/ West Carson helped out a local Carson resident with demolition after suffering from a fire due to illegal firework incident.

SERVPRO always thinks the safest way to enjoy fireworks is to attend a public display conducted by trained professionals. If you do decided to have fireworks at your home this year, be sure to have a bucket of water for used fireworks, and a fire extinguisher on stand by.
