Autumn has arrived with cool weather, warm fireplaces, beautiful trees and their falling leaves. As the season has just begun, it's important to remember certain safety precautions that can keep you and your family safe throughout the season.

Fireplaces are comforting, beautiful and quite popular in the fall, of course, this can also lead to certain dangers involving fire. We've put together some tips to keep you safe in your home. When burning a fire, make sure to have a screen to keep sparks from flying, and never leave a burning fire unattended. While these are simple instructions, it's always important to refresh your memory. Keeping with fire safety, candles are also an easy way to start a fire in your home.  To avoid this danger, place your lit candles away from children and pets and fully blow-out candles when leaving your home.  

The array of red and orange leaves add a nice atmosphere to a fall drive. However, they can also lead to dangerous roads. With falling leaves and wet weather, driving on a street covered with leaves can make the ground slippery, so it's important to be cautious, and drive slow!

Our SERVPRO team believes it's important for you to remember these tips so you can have an enjoyable, safe season. Happy fall!
