Multiple SERVPRO team members working I hallway at the middle school.

On average, 24000 electrical fires occur in the U.S. per year, according to the U.S. Fire Administration.
Electrical issues caused this certain fire at a  middle school here in Kosciusko.
SERVPRO of Northeast Delta Lands and SERVPRO of Columbus/Starkville were happy to be of assistance!

Thankfully this fire happened after hours so no children or staff were present.  Damage was severe in some areas, but only soot and odor in other areas.  The entire school was cleaned and School was able to resume in January. 

SERVPRO Tip:
Remember especially this time of year space heaters are a top cause of electrical fires. Heaters are often left on in front of/on combustible surfaces like curtains and rugs. Coil heaters are the most dangerous.
