Did you know that thousands of garages catch on fire each year in the United States?

We didn't know either, so we wanted to educated others on this too. Unfortunately garage fires often lead to house fire, whether the garage is attached or not. Check out some of the tips below. We know not all fires are preventable, but we hope these are helpful to possibly prevent a garage fire!
