Wow! Every time I hear the forecast for Minneapolis this weekend it gets better and better! Gotta love that! I am pretty sure I speak for everyone in and around the Twin Cities when I say bring on the heat! We have had so much water and flooding in Minnesota this spring it’s time to feel some sunshine!
As you’re getting your Easter baskets ready and eggs colored, I wanted to take a moment to remind you that fires are more common during most holidays. With the increased distractions from the celebration and increased grilling and cooking, it is easy to have an accident happen that could create smoke or fire damage. The last thing we all want is a disaster of this magnitude during our family gatherings.
Tip #1: When cooking, be sure to clean any grease on your stovetop or oven that can ignite easily. Keep that area free of any flammable objects like oven mitts or plastic containers. Also, remember to watch your sleeves! Those beautiful flowy bell sleeves (that I love so much) can pose a risk, especially if you love and prefer cooking on a gas range as I do!
Tip #2: If you have candles burning as part of your Easter décor, remember to keep lit candles in safe areas where they cannot be knocked over by children or pets and keep the candles in sight at all times.
Tip #3: If you are firing up the grill for your Easter feast remember to choose a safe location for your grill. Keep grills on a level surface more than ten feet away from the house, garage or other structures. Keep children and pets away, as well as overhanging branches. Grills should not be used on a balcony or under an overhang. Avoid placing grills too close to combustible deck rails.
Tip #4: Never leave unattended ALL of the above. Whether you are cooking inside or outside, always keep an eye out. If you have to walk away for a moment, designate someone to take over for a couple of minutes. Get all hands on deck sorta speak …just makes cooking all the more fun I think!
Tip #5: Make sure your fire extinguishers are up to date. Yes, they do expire for working safety reasons! I have a commercial grade extinguisher in my kitchen that I bring in yearly for service. Many fire departments will do this for a small fee, some don’t charge at all. You should always have one in an easily accessible spot in the kitchen (under the kitchen sink is probably the most common), and one near your grilling area especially if your outside water is not turned on yet.
Disasters are more common than we think, and they are sadly impossible to fully prevent. The best proactive approach we can take is to be prepared, ready and have a plan for a fire disaster. If you do not have a fire disaster plan, check out some of our other blogs on fire safety in Minneapolis. You will also find more helpful tips that may help you get ready for a potential disaster!
All of us here at 24Restore wish you and your family a very blessed Easter weekend!
“24Restore came within an hour of our water damage to assess the problem and restore and reconstruct our kitchen and my office. Everyone from 24Restore was professional, kind and did an outstanding job of damage assessment and restoration.”
Your service was excellent. The young man was thorough and very dedicated to completing the job. He’s a good one. I would recommend your services to anyone who need them.
Your team has been absolutely amazing, professional, sympathetic and wonderful. They took my mess and made it manageable as I shed a few tears, which they also consoled with empathy. At a time when we have floods and tornados city wide you responded within hours. Thank, I am impressed and I have passed the word on to many.
Very good experience……everyone I dealt with through 24 Restore was very professional and very kind.
This note is a note of thanks and appreciation of the services provided…..we could even say our home looks better than before we incurred our water damage…Job well done!
I don’t often take the time to write a follow up complimentary letter. However I was very impressed with 24 Restore and felt they went above and beyond to surpass expectations with WOW service. Thank you for the great service and great job that your team did to get my house back in shape.
I have recommended them to many of my friends. They are the only service that I have ever used that always gets my stains out and that clean my carpets beautifully. I can’t say enough good thins about them
Thank you for all the work put in to get out home……It would have been an impossible task for us to have accomplished in such a short time. We appreciate all that you have done for us! We are so grateful!
Yes. I appreciated the ability to funnel all activities thru a one-stop shop proved to be very valuable in a disaster project such as ours demo, construction and finish as well as work directly with insurance company. The team has been professional and those on site have been respectful of our home and schedule.
Alex did a great job scheduling, coordinating, and keeping me informed. He made sure that everything was done in a timely manner. I always felt that my job was a priority. All the workmen did a great job and were very polite. I am pleased with the results. I would highly recommend your company!
From the time of initial contact to the time of job completion was 24 hrs. Very pleased with job outcome. Will definitely use you again. If ever in need.
Response time was awesome. We we’re bewildered by what was happening and what needed to be done. 24hr came in and took care of what needed to be done.
I thought 24 was very professional and timely work.
24Restore was very responsive and did a thorough job plus they cleaned up after themselves.
The job was exceptionally well done. You were recommended to me by Dennis Carlson, a freind and I would definatley refer 24restore to friends and family.
Very Professional!
Everyone was on top of everything and got back to me in a reasonable time. Clean up was done absolutely perfect at the end of each job.
The guys who worked here were great, polite, personable and hard workers. They did a great job! So thankful this is over!
Working with the employees at 24restore has been an easy process. They aimed to please.
Kudos to Shelli Abraham especially, she worked with the mortgage company and insurance company so I didn’t have to, I’m a caregiver for my husband with Dementia, she took the pressure off having to deal with them, thanks Shelli.
