Safety starts with YOU!

SERVPRO® of Springfield would like to remind you to stay safe over the holiday week. While fireworks can be fun they can also be unpredictable and dangerous. “Fireworks start an average of 18,500 fires per year, including 1,300 structure fires, 300 vehicle fires, and 16,900 outside and other fires. These fires caused an average of three deaths, 40 civilian injuries, and an average of $43 million in direct property damage.” We have to work together to keep our homes and neighborhoods safe. Fire safety starts with each of us. Remember to pay attention to local fireworks ordinances and warnings.
