We are leaders in fire damage restoration services in Osceola County.

Our local Osceola County team responds to fire damage emergencies 24 hours a day in Celebration. Microwave ovens make it easy to warm up or defrost a meal, but they can cause burns and fires. Here are some microwave safety tips from the National Fire Protection Association:

• PURCHASE a microwave oven that is listed by a qualified testing laboratory. Make sure to complete and return the product registration card. This way, the manufacturer can reach you if there is a recall of the product.
• PLUG the microwave oven directly into the wall outlet — never use an extension cord.
• MAKE sure the microwave oven is at a safe height, within easy reach of all users.
• OPEN food slowly, away from the face. Hot steam or the food itself can cause burns.
• FOOD heats unevenly in microwave ovens. Stir and test before eating or giving to children.
• NEVER heat a baby bottle in the microwave. Since a microwave oven heats unevenly, it can create hot pockets, leading to burns. Warm a bottle in a bowl of warm, not hot or boiling, water, or by running it under the tap.
