Fire & Water - Cleanup & Restoration

Alert the Press! Fire CAN Cause Damage to Your Pepper Pike Home!

7/2/2018 (Permalink)

With the Fourth of July approaching this week, young and old are excited for their local fireworks displays around Mayfield Heights, OH. National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) reports that an average of 15,600 fires per year are caused by fireworks. Be sure to read these statistics and prepare yourselves for what could happen (but don't forget to have fun!).

Average fire damage each year include 1,400 structure fires, 200 vehicle fires, and 14,000 outside and other fires. Property damage, injury and even death are caused by these fires each year. More than a quarter of fires reported, occurred on July Fourth. More than one-third (35%) of the people seen in emergency rooms for fireworks injuries from June 20-July 20 at the time of this study were under 15 years old; nine percent were under five years old. Even something seemingly tame like sparklers alone accounted for more than one one-quarter (28%) of the emergency room fireworks injuries seen from June 20-July 20 at the time of this study. Keep your family safe by enjoying fireworks presented by your local communities. 

Studies show that there is more property damage on the Fourth of July than any other day of the year. Check with your Pepper Pike home owner’s insurance company on your coverage relating to fireworks. If you are involved in illegal fireworks you may not be covered. This could be a costly celebration!
