Fire Prevention
Last month, two children started a small fire with a lighter in a church in Escondido. Luckily, the fast response from local law enforcement and fire fighters prevented and casualties and significant fire damage to the church by providing fire damage cleanup in Escondido . A few months before the church fire an Escondido home suffered from $500,000 in fire and smoke damage from a fire that spread from the garage into the home’s heating ducts. It took an estimated 33 firefighters from multiple districts to completely extinguish the house fire. Escondido sees its fair share of fires each year. In fact, fires can strike anyone at any time. According to the National Fire Prevention Association, an estimated 1.3 million fires break out in the United States each year. On average, there are over 3,000 deaths, 17,00 injuries and over 12 billion dollars in damages caused by house fires. These statistics show how important it is to follow fire prevention tips.
