We respond to fire damage emergencies 24-hours a day in Itasca County.

More homes fires break out on Thanksgiving than on any other day of the year. SERVPRO® of Bemidji, Grand Rapids & Hibbing wants everyone in Calumet to have a safe and fire-free Thanksgiving day. Here are some cooking safety tips from the National Fire Protection Association:

• Stay in the kitchen when you are cooking on the stovetop so you can keep an eye on the food
• Stay in the home when cooking your turkey and check on it frequently
• Keep children away from the stove. The stove will be hot, and kids should stay three feet away
• Make sure kids stay away from hot food and liquids. The steam or splash from vegetables, gravy, or coffee could cause serious burns
• Keep the floor clear so you don’t trip over kids, toys, pocketbooks, or bags
• Keep knives out of the reach of children
• Be sure electric cords from an electric knife, coffee maker, plate warmer, or mixer are not dangling off the counter within easy reach of a child.
• Keep matches and utility lighters out of the reach of children
• Never leave children alone in a room with a lit candle
• Make sure your smoke alarms are working
