We love our furry friends, but sometimes they can get into mischief and cause fires. Pets can start fires by bumping into, turning on, or knocking over cooking equipment. Our pets are curious creatures, and they can cause fires!

Our local Destin, Seaside, and Freeport team responds to fire damage emergencies in Seaside every year, and we want to make sure your pets are safe around fire. Here are some pet fire safety tips from the National Fire Protection Association:

  • Keep pets away from stoves and countertops
  • Keep pets away from candles, lamps, and space heaters
  • Always use a metal or heat-tempered glass screen on a fireplace and keep it in place
  • Keep pets away from a chimney's outside vents
  • Have a "pet-free zone" of at least three feet away from the fireplace. Glass doors and screens can stay dangerously hot for several hours after the fire goes out.
  • Some pets are chewers. Watch pets to make sure they don't chew through electrical cords. Have any problems been checked by a professional.
