Avoiding Fire Risks when Moving Home


Fire is an ever-present danger when lots of household items are densely packed together and contained within a relatively enclosed space, such as a transport vehicle.

At Total Care Removals, we respectfully request that our clients notify us in advance of any materials that might be deemed ‘hazardous’ including inflammable substances. The good news is that many modern materials are very flame-retardant but not all are.

So, if you’re thinking about doing you own packing for a household removal, here are a few things to watch out for.
1. Bar-b-que firelighters or fuel.


2. Highly volatile liquids such as petrol/gasoline – these can often be left unintentionally in
    things such as motorbikes and lawnmowers etc.


3. Gas matches or any other electronic sparking aid designed to get a fire going. Lighters
    (even those in classic lighter collections) are a danger here too.


4. Battery-powered heaters, hair tongs or electrical coils. If they’re accidentally switched on,
    issues might result. Read more  http://www.christchurchremovals.co.nz/avoiding-fire-risks-when-moving-home/
