At VitalHalo, we understand the importance of fire prevention and provide expert fire and smoke damage restoration services to properties in Norwalk and surrounding areas, including La Mirada and Paramount.

Common Winter Fire Hazards

Some common winter fire hazards include space heaters, candles, and faulty electrical wiring. It's essential to be aware of these potential hazards and take steps to mitigate them. For example, keep space heaters at least three feet away from flammable materials, and never leave candles unattended.
