Recent House Fire in Arlington Vermont!

We here at SERVPRO of Bennington and Rutland Counties recently helped a family return their Arlington VT home back to "Like it never even happened." We recently took care of a home that was damaged due to a grease fire that originated in the kitchen.  The kitchen was severely damaged and required lots of demolition, but many other rooms were affected by the fire and needed to be cleaned as well. Our crew got out there immediately and the customer's home has been repaired!

According to the U.S Fire Administration’s National Fire Incident Reporting between the years 2014-2016 there were roughly 188,800 cooking related fires that cost about $463 million in property loss! And Grease fires are one of the most dangerous cooking fires! Here are some safety tips to help prevent kitchen fires!

  1. Before cooking make sure all spills have been wiped up and your burner is cool.
  2. Never add water to grease, water and oil do not mix and when added together the water will sink to the bottom and evaporate spreading your oil flame everywhere.
  3. Use a screen that can cover your pan and protect against splatters outside of the pan.
  4. Never leave your stove unattended!
  5. As soon as you see smoke remove pan immediately and turn off the heat source!
  6. If a flame occurs attempt to remove all oxygen from flame, for example cover with another pot.
  7. If unable to cover fire pour baking soda over it.
  8. Use a class B fire extinguisher to put out the flame
  9. Call 911 and evacuate your home as a last resort. If the above steps do not work, you should evacuate your home immediately and call 911.

We here at SERVPRO of Bennington and Rutland Counties have the skills and proper products/equipment to restore your homes that have been impacted by a fire. If you experience a fire in your home or business, please call us at 802-375-1500.
