Heads or Tails

At SERVPRO of Mobile County, we know all too well that fire can be your worst enemy when it comes to your home.  But there are two sides to this coin. Fire is also one of man’s greatest accomplishments and a necessary friend. Harnessing the power of fire for centuries has allowed for the evolution of our society.  From cooking our food to powering industrial progress, fire has been instrumental in the development of our culture and our customs. As Spring gives way to summer that can be seen even more clearly as we embark on one of the greatest joys of summertime, backyard grilling.  It’s about more than cooking...grilling is a custom. A way to gather friends and family, celebrate holidays and enjoy food, fellowship and fun. However; when you grilling your way through the “dog days” of summer, we would like to remind you to be safe and take the proper precautions to prevent any grill related disasters.  According to FEMA statistics, grilling accounts for nearly 10 deaths and over $37 million in property loss each year in the United States.
