Electrical fire in Tuscaloosa 35405

Most of us have never experienced a home fire, small or large. It is an out of sight out of mind thought process that many of us are guilty of not thinking about until it’s too late. To give you some insight on residential fires:

 In 2015 there were 501,500 structure fires. 2,685 lost their lives and 13,000 people were injured because of the fire. In 2015 there was $10.3 billion in property damage (www.nfpa.org)

 A fire department responded every 23 seconds.

We just witnessed a major tourist town quickly go from a controlled wildfire to an uncontrollable one in November 2016.

 Fire is something we all should be prepared for and it is violent.
