There are accidents where you have somebody will come in and it's cold outside, they'll leave the door open and they'll begin to put their groceries down in front of a heater. It's not working.

And when those things come on and the groceries are in front of it, guess what catches on fire? And so now you're in and out of the house and you have a fire that was started with something you really didn't expect.

They have to use a certain type of tape. It has to be certified. And if it's not and someone's hurt, we know how to help, so give us a call.
