What is firework fire damage, and how can it occur?

Firework fire damage is when fireworks cause fire damage to personal property. Firework fire damage can occur in several ways because when fireworks explode, they send out hot debris that can land on a roof or other nearby surfaces and start a fire.

Five tips for preventing fire damage from fireworks 

It's essential to be aware of these risks and take the necessary precautions to avoid fire damage. Here are some firework safety tips from the professionals at SERVPRO of North Fulton:

1. Always have water handy when using fireworks: Water will help to extinguish a fire if one should start.
2. Never light fireworks near your home or other buildings: It's essential to keep fireworks away from any structures that could catch fire.
3. Ensure fireworks are pointed in a safe direction: A firework pointed in the wrong direction can cause severe injury or damage.
4. Never try to relight a firework: If a firework doesn't light, don't try to relight it. 
5. Safe disposal: Properly disposing of fireworks will help to prevent fire damage.
