2/8/2021 (Permalink)

Did you know that 50% of businesses never reopen after a disaster strikes?

That is a huge amount! At SERVPRO of Allen, Barren, Hart, Green and Taylor Counties, we are working to make that number go down as much as possible.

With it being the cold, winter months, there are many more fire hazards being used to heat both homes and businesses. Make sure your business does not become a statistic, and make plans against fire damage now. Here are 6 ways to help protect your business:

1. Have fire extinguishers readily available and check them regularly
2. Install automatic sprinklers or a fire suppression system
3. Regularly check and clean the equipment used in your business
4. Reduce useless clutter
5. Have an exit plan for all employees
6. Maintain outdoor areas against being vulnerable against wildfires (if applicable)
