Vellano Home Damaged in Recent Fire?

We are a top choice for fire damage restoration services in San Bernardino County.

Our local Chino/Chino Hills team restores fire-damaged homes and commercial businesses every year. Fires may break out in Vellano during the winter due to space heaters. Here are some of the reasons why space heaters catch fire:

Contact with Flammable Materials: Space heaters often have exposed heating elements or coils. If these elements come into direct contact with flammable items, they can quickly start a fire. For example, a curtain blowing against a space heater can catch fire.

Overheating: Some space heaters lack built-in safety features to prevent overheating. If the heater's internal components get too hot due to malfunction or a blocked airflow, it can lead to electrical fires.

Electrical Issues: Like any electrical appliance, space heaters can have electrical faults, such as damaged cords or faulty outlets.

Improper Use: Users may place space heaters too close to objects, obstruct the heater's airflow, or leave them unattended.

Old or Faulty Units: Aging or poorly maintained space heaters are more likely to malfunction and become fire hazards.

To reduce the risk of fire damage when using space heaters, follow safety guidelines such as maintaining a safe clearance from combustibles, using heaters with safety features (like tip-over switches and overheat protection), keeping cords and outlets in good condition, and never leaving a running space heater unattended.
