The Public Adjusters Warn of Space Heater Fires
Tampa, FL, November 16, 2011 --(PR.com)-- The Public Adjusters, a Tampa, Florida based public insurance adjuster firm advises home owners to remember the importance of fire safety during winter months, and how to avoid common fire hazards during the upcoming cold season.
As property owners nationwide prepare to face their share of cold weather, The Public Adjusters remind home and business owners that fire danger consistently rises as the temperature drops and to take proper precautions to lessen the risk of fire loss.
Space heaters have made a comeback as an inexpensive heating option, and often play a role in fire losses during the cold dry days of winter. Kenneth Browne, COO of the firm’s operations in 11 states throughout the southeast U.S., has simple advice to drastically reduce people’s risk of fire resulting from portable heating devices.
“Check the device for frayed wires before use, never overload a plug socket or use an extension cord for power and most importantly, never use the portable heating device overnight or unattended.”
According to Browne, circuit overloads have also proven to be common winter weather mishaps as homeowners increase their use of electricity, lights and heat during the holidays.
The Public Adjusters often experience a large increase in residential and commercial fire claims during the winter months that could have been easily preventable.
“Although space heaters are an affordable way to heat a home or business during these cold months people must use extreme caution and take proper precautions to prevent a fire loss. We have seen firsthand the destruction caused by misuse or overuse of these devices. My recommendation is to minimize the use of space heaters during the winter months and always, make certain you are properly insured,” said Browne.
