House fire caused by fireworks

2/8/2021 (Permalink)

It has happened plenty of times... especially when there is debris in the gutters, like dried leaves and twigs. SERVPRO of Plano has cleaned up many fires each year caused by fireworks.

Just because it is an asphalt roof shingle, doesn't mean it won't catch fire... just think... what is asphalt? It is a petroleum based product, on a hot roof, and if it then comes in contact with sparks from a firework, you potentially have a problem.

Fireworks were also banned in central Texas this year due to the extremely dry/drought conditions. 72% of Texas is in the highest drought category this year.... whew!

Most of the area cities also cancelled their public firework displays due to the extreme fire danger.

If a FIRE strikes your home call the professionals SERVPRO of Plano 972-403-9004.
