Protecting Your Cecil County Business from Fire Damage

3/2/2022 (Permalink)

At SERVPRO of Cecil County, we understand that fire damage is not a topic that business owners like to discuss.  However, it is a necessary issue to address.  Preventative actions and emergency procedures should be discussed and put into place in order to keep your employees and clients safe.

By preventing and acting quickly in the event of fire damage, your property will suffer less substantial damage as well.  The National Fire Protection Association outlines several critical steps to follow regarding fire damage in your commercial building.

• Fire alarms and a sprinkler system should be installed.
• All employees should be informed of an evacuation plan with clear exits.
• During a fire, the fire alarm should be pulled immediately to inform everyone inside the building.  The fire department will be alerted for the emergency response.

Our Emergency READY Profile Program is another option for helping you to be prepared in the event of fire damage in your business.  SERVPRO of Cecil County offers this free program to all commercial facilities in Cecil County.  Our professionals will assess your property and compile critical information that is needed during a disaster, including details such as water shut-offs, electrical components and the proper emergency personnel.

This information is easily accessible in a digital file for business owners so that you can receive immediate assistance and prevent further damage to the building.  SERVPRO of Cecil County is happy to offer this program in our local area.  Should your business suffer fire, smoke or soot damage, our fire restoration team is here to help!
