Family Pets Starting Fires in Kailua Homes?

The family dog has a ball and wants to play in the house. We restore fire damage 24-hours a day in Honolulu County.

Aloha! Pets are curious and can start fires! Our team in Kailua offers these tips from the National Fire Protection Association for pet fire safety:

  • 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 checked by a professional.
  • Consider battery-operated, flameless candles. They can look and smell like real candles.

Pets and Wildfires

  • Make sure pets are included in your family’s wildfire evacuation plan
  • Build an evacuation kit for each pet in your household
  • Ensure each kit is a size and weight that can be quickly and easily loaded into a vehicle when packing to evacuate
