We clean and restore fire damage in Okaloosa County.

Our local team in Fort Walton Beach has the equipment, training, and experience to restore fire damage, no matter how big the job is. It is nice to use a space heater during the cooler evenings to take the chill out of the night air. Here are some tips from the National Fire Protection Association to keep you safe around portable space heaters:

• Purchase a heater with the seal of a qualified testing laboratory
• Keep the heater at least 3 feet away from anything that can burn, including people
• Choose a heater with a thermostat and overheat protection
• Place the heater on a solid, flat surface
• Make sure your heater has an auto shut-off to turn the heater off if it tips over
• Keep space heaters out of the way of foot traffic. Never block an exit.
• Keep children away from the space heater
• Plug the heater directly into the wall outlet. Never use an extension cord.
• Space heaters should be turned off and unplugged when you leave the room or go to bed
