Family Pets Starting Fires in Kailua Homes?

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
