Union, MI – Fire Hazards in Recreational Structures and Sheds
Union, home to many recreational cabins, hunting shacks, and lakeside sheds, is prone to fire hazards in less-used structures. According to IICRC, spaces without regular oversight or proper wiring are frequent fire risk zones.
🔥 What to Watch for in Detached and Seasonal Structures:
Extension Cords Used as Permanent Wiring:
Many cabins use plug-in cords for lights or heaters, which are not rated for continuous use and easily overheat.
Rodent-Chewed Wiring:
Infrequently used spaces are perfect for pests, and frayed wires from gnawing are a top ignition source.
Improvised Heating Devices:
Space heaters, heat lamps, or DIY propane setups without proper clearance or shutoff mechanisms often cause fires.
Improper Ash Disposal from Fireplaces:
Even days after use, embers in metal or plastic bins can reignite and set fire to nearby wood structures or debris.
🔥 Your “getaway spot” should never become a fire scene—inspect and prep before every season.
