Is your garage safe from fire?

Is your garage safe from fire?

When tragedies like the brushfires in San Diego County occur, the first reaction is to worry about loved ones and hard earned homes, businesses, and possessions.  However, once things calm down it is a great time to evaluate the level of safety precautions that you take when there isn’t imminent danger. We want to remind everyone of a few things that you can do to make your garage a safe place.

A garage can house anything from cars, sports equipment, appliances, family heirlooms, and more. With each item in your garage there is a threat of fire involved no matter what the weather conditions are. Here are a few tips that we suggest to keep your risk to a minimum and your piece of mind at a maximum.
