What are the most common causes of fires in Miami?

Electrical System

Many fires in Miami properties occur as a result of a problem with the electrical system or misuse of its elements, such as plugs or fuses.

Stoves and fireplaces

Stoves and fireplaces, two heating systems widely used during the winter, require special care to avoid becoming a hazard.

In the case of stoves, make sure they do not set fire to drapes or other textiles. In the case of fireplaces, it is advisable to use a protector to prevent sparks from starting a fire. If you suffer fire damage to your property, contact the experts at Liberty Claims and we will handle the entire insurance claim process to ensure you receive the compensation you deserve.

Candles

Many houses have burned down because a candle was left burning. It may seem harmless, but if it is near anything that can easily ignite, such as drapes, a sofa, or cushions, disaster is imminent. Use this information to prevent fires in your Miami home.

Kitchen

When we cook, the heat, along with the grease that accumulates in pots, pans, and the cooker hood, increases the chances of a fire. Add to this the fact that there are electrical elements in the kitchen that are close to water sources, and you have another potential fire risk in your Florida property. 

Flammable products

Storing gasoline or other flammable fuels and liquids in the home should be done with proper precautions to prevent a fire. Remember that the slightest mistake can cause these products to spill and cause real disasters.
