The Garage – A Hot Spot for Hazards
Garages often double as storage units, workshops, and utility rooms — and that’s exactly why they’re so fire-prone.
🚗 Champion’s Garage Fire Prevention Tips:
- Store gasoline, propane, and flammable liquids in approved containers — away from heat sources.
- Keep rags soaked in oils or stains in a metal can with a tight-fitting lid.
- Don’t block HVAC or water heater airflow. Poor ventilation can cause dangerous heat buildup.
- Declutter! Paper, cardboard, and chemicals are all fuel for fire.
- Install a heat alarm. Smoke alarms don’t always work well in garages due to temperature shifts.
If a fire does happen in your garage, Champion can help clean, repair, and restore it — quickly and professionally.
