We are leaders in fire damage restoration services in Okaloosa County.

Our Fort Walton Beach technicians respond to fire damage emergencies throughout the year in Ocean City. The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) wants residents to get rid of their trees after Christmas or when the tree is dry. Here are some tips for preventing Christmas tree fires from the NFPA:

After Christmas

Get rid of the tree after Christmas or when it is dry. Dried-out trees are a fire danger and should not be left in the home or garage or placed outside against the house. Bring outdoor electrical lights inside after the holidays to prevent hazards and make them last longer.
