PuroClean Professional Services’s Paramedics of Property Damage Aim to Keep Thanksgiving Safe

Thanksgiving is one of the most widely celebrated U.S. holidays, and unfortunately, as with many holidays, fire incidences at residential structures nearly double throughout the country.  According to the U.S. Fire Administration, Thanksgiving Day fires in residential structures cause more property damage and claim more lives than residential fires on any other day of the year.  Each year, approximately 4,300 fires in the United States occur on Thanksgiving Day causing nearly $27 million in property damage.  Cooking is by far the leading cause of residential structure fires, specifically due food left unattended.

PuroClean, known as “The Paramedics of Property Damage,” is a professional mitigation company specializing in property remediation after a home or commercial structure has been damaged by fire and smoke.  George Cruz, owner of PuroClean Professional Services serving Greater Cleveland & Akron, says, “We experience an increased number of fire mitigation calls around the holiday season.  Cooking is by far one of the leading causes of much of the property damage emergencies our technicians respond to.”

Since the majority of Thanksgiving Day fires originate from the stove or oven, property owners hosting Thanksgiving Day celebrations should keep a careful watch on the dishes they are cooking.  Although it is easy to be distracted while surrounded by guests, it is important to always keep an eye on the meal being prepared.

PuroClean restoration professionals are on call - even during Thanksgiving festivities - to respond to fire damage emergencies immediately. Cruz said the faster the response, the greater the chance of saving property and possessions and minimizing claims.
