We are fire damage restoration specialists in Miami.

Our local team in Miami Beach has been restoring fire damage in the Miami Shores area for years. Smoking and smoking materials are a leading cause of home fire deaths in the United States. Here are some smoking safety tips from the National Fire Protection Association:

Smoking Safety

• If you smoke, use only fire-safe cigarettes
• If you smoke, smoke outside. Most deaths result from fires that started in living rooms, family rooms, and dens or bedrooms.
• Keep cigarettes, lighters, matches, and other smoking materials up high out of the reach of children, in a locked cabinet

Put It Out

• Use a deep, sturdy ashtray. Place it away from anything that can burn.
• Do not discard cigarettes in vegetation such as mulch, potted plants or landscaping, peat moss, dried grasses, leaves, or other things that could ignite easily
• Before you throw away butts and ashes, make sure they are out, and dousing in water or sand is the best way to do that

Electronic Cigarettes

Never leave charging e-cigarettes unattended. E-cigarettes should be used with caution.

• Fires have occurred while e-cigarettes were being used
• While the battery was being charged
• While the device was being transported
• Battery failures have led to small explosions
