A Cameron Park resident had fire damage from Valentine candles, they called us SERVPRO of El Dorado Hills/Placerville to respond to the job.

Candles can be a romantic gesture and have a romantic glow in the bedroom, unless the glow is a fire. Sparks and embers will be flying if you are not careful with candles. SERVPRO of El Dorado Hills/Placerville wants you to be mindful of candle safety tips.

There is numerous amounts of flammable content in the bedroom, from window curtains, to bedding, to carpets. The bedroom is not a place where people give their full attention to their surroundings. 

The tips we recommend are:

• Never leave burning candles unoccupied in rooms
• Keep flammable solvents away from candle
• Keep pets away from candles as they can knock it over
• Utilizing proper candle holders
• Keep candles away from drafts as it can cause candles to flare up or burn unevenly

It is good to ensure that your smoke detectors are working properly.
