Safety is key!

Just like that, we are about two months away from wrapping up 2021; How time flies! On that note, we are just about to enter the Holiday season, how exciting is that? This means family time, good food, and year-end annual traditions. With that being said, here are a few seasonal safety tips for your home.

• When cooking your Thanksgiving feast, practice kitchen safety. Keep a fire extinguisher handy, just in case. Keep cleaning rags and mittens away from your stovetop. Never leave your stove unattended while cooking.
• If you plan on participating in the Black Friday shopping tradition, be mindful of others at stores. Please remember that safety should be a priority while partaking in this tradition.
• If you are traveling during the holiday season, remember to adjust your thermostat accordingly. During the colder evenings, this can help prevent broken pipes and water damage as a result.
• If you are purchasing a real Christmas tree this season, remember to water it regularly. A dry Pine tree can be a fire hazard.

Most importantly, enjoy the upcoming season with your family and loved ones. Always remember that your local SERVPRO of Poolesville/Clarksburg/Damascus is always here to help.
