SERVPRO of Murrieta wants to prevent wildfires

Devastation of Fire

Fires move quickly and destructively. A seemingly isolated brush fire can grow to consume dozens of acres in just minutes. A fire in a waste-basket can destroy a small office building or a house in five minutes.   

Even fires that do not destroy buildings cause serious damage. Fire damage goes beyond the fires themselves because soot and smoke travel with the air currents, which can move well beyond the flames.

Call SERVPRO^® of Murrieta when fire and its byproducts threaten Murrieta homes and businesses. We have expertise in removing soot and smoke, and in restoring structures and contents from the soot and smoke damage.

We have 24-hour emergency service, and are available 365 days a year.

Our number is (951) 894-4392. 

Be aware of the causes of fire

Brush fires or wildfires may seem unpreventable, but humans cause around 95% of these fires, according to the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (Cal Fire). Causes include:

• Electrical sparks from mowers or other garden equipment
• Downed power lines
• Improperly controlled camp fires
• Sparklers or fireworks
• Sparks from car crashes or tire blowouts

Southern California is an ideal location for fires to start and to grow out of control. There is ample dry vegetation for much of the year, and people live near wild areas that burn easily. The intersection of population with wild vegetation allows fires to spread to homes and offices.

Watch your surroundings

Use power equipment, camp fires, and sparklers carefully.
