As the weather warms up, many homeowners are eager to spend time outdoors, enjoying the sunshine and fresh air. However, it’s crucial to remember that with the beauty of outdoor living comes the responsibility of fire safety. At SERVPRO of Tri-County, we’re passionate about helping homeowners stay safe and protected, both inside and outside their homes.

According to a study conducted by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), a significant number of fires originate in outdoor spaces such as yards, patios, and decks. These fires can result from various causes, including improperly disposed of cigarettes, unattended bonfires, and malfunctioning outdoor cooking equipment.

Another study published in the Journal of Environmental Health Science & Engineering highlights the importance of fire safety education and awareness in reducing the risk of outdoor fires. By taking proactive measures and implementing proper safety practices, homeowners can significantly lower the likelihood of fire-related incidents in their backyard.
