Stovetop Fires - How to Prevent a Loss

"Property Management". 

What's the first thing you think of when you hear those words?  For you veteran property managers, investors or principal brokers, it ought to be RISK, or, better yet, RISK MANAGEMENT.  And, as property managers, investors or principal brokers, I am sure you will agree that we need to limit the amount of risk that we and our clients realize.  One of the easiest (and cost-effective) ways to do this is to install and encourage the installation of StoveTop FireStop cannisters in all of your properties. 

Several months ago, my property management company changed insurance companies.  We had been with our previous company since "God made dirt" and another local property management company referred us to a new insurance company that specifically  focuses on the apartment niche.  So, when we changed insurance providers, this new provider sent one of their agents to our property for a risk assessment.  One of the suggestions that this risk assessor made was for us to install the StoveTop FireStop in every apartment. 

How can StoveTop FireStop limit your risk as a property manager, investor or principal broker?  

Let's say that one of your tenants leaves something heating on the stove surface and it catches on fire.   When flames on the stove top reach the device installed above each pair of burners, an extinguishing agent is released.  Please note that this product is not intended for fires caused by deep-fat frying. 

The damage from a stovetop fire can cost thousands of dollars to repair.  Stovetop fires are a leading cause to, large, uncontrollable house fires, and, without question, a key factor in the upward spiral in the cost of insurance premiums.  In addition, stovetop fires are probably the most difficult to control of all types of residential fires.  By installing Stovetop Firestop in your investment properties and encouraging your clients to use them in their properties, these small canisters can can ultimately prevent a disasterous nightmare.
