RestoPros of East Cleveland is reminding homeowners and businesses about the increased risk of fire damage during the upcoming holiday season, when residential fires spike by nearly 30 percent according to national fire safety statistics. The restoration company is emphasizing the importance of fire prevention measures and rapid response protocols as families prepare for holiday gatherings and decorating.

The period between Thanksgiving and New Year's Day traditionally sees a significant rise in home fires due to cooking incidents, heating equipment malfunctions, and holiday decorations. Kitchen fires alone account for more than half of all residential fires during this period, with unattended cooking being the leading cause. Additionally, Christmas trees, space heaters, and overloaded electrical circuits contribute to the seasonal increase in fire-related emergencies.

"The holiday season brings unique fire hazards into homes that many people don't consider until it's too late," said Michael Sak of RestoPros of East Cleveland. "While families focus on celebrations and gatherings, simple oversights like leaving candles unattended or overloading power strips with holiday lights can lead to devastating consequences. We want our community to enjoy the holidays safely while being prepared to act quickly if fire damage does occur."

Fire damage restoration requires immediate professional attention to prevent secondary damage from smoke, soot, and water used in firefighting efforts. The restoration process involves comprehensive assessment, smoke and soot removal, structural cleaning, and often reconstruction of damaged areas. Properties affected by fire also frequently require specialized odor removal techniques and air quality testing to ensure safe reoccupation.

Local fire departments report that response times during the holiday season can be impacted by weather conditions and increased call volumes. This makes both prevention and having a restoration plan particularly important for property owners. Quick action following a fire incident can significantly reduce the extent of damage and the time required for restoration.

"When fire damage occurs, the first 24 to 48 hours are critical for preventing permanent damage to structures and belongings," added Sak. "Smoke and soot are acidic and can cause irreversible damage to surfaces if not addressed promptly. That's why having access to emergency restoration services that understand the urgency of fire damage situations is essential for our community."

RestoPros of East Cleveland maintains 24/7 emergency response capabilities throughout the holiday season, ensuring that residential and commercial property owners have immediate access to certified restoration professionals when disasters strike. The company's technicians hold certifications in fire and smoke remediation and work in accordance with Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration Certification standards.
