After a bad storm or even a busted pipe, your business could be flooded within minutes. What some people seem to forget is that your business has electrical sockets, and other flammable materials that could cause a fire even during a flood.

Here are a few steps to take that can help your business not experience a fire.

• Shut off gas at the main valve if you are trained to do so; otherwise, have your gas company do this
• Inspect storage and piping systems containing flammable liquids; repair leaks or damage as soon as possible. Provide supports and anchors for damaged or floating tanks and piping. 
•  Prohibit smoking. 
• Post a fire watch until all fire protection systems are functional and normal operations are resumed.
• Give SERVPRO a call
