When many of us think about holiday celebrations, our memories often include lighting sparklers and setting off colorful fireworks. Fireworks can be a big part of the holiday fun, but for Sauk City owners of rental homes, they can also be a dangerous risk. Even though you’re applying all essential protections, and in spite of the fact you’re just firing up small fireworks, things can, regardless, misfire. At any given time you incorporate fire and explosives, there is an actual danger of not just personal injury but property devastation besides.
According to the National Fire Prevention Association, fireworks caused 11,000 injuries and 4 deaths in 2016. In addition to personal injury, the NFPA reports that fireworks start an average of 18,500 fires each year. 1,300 of those are structural fires and 300 are vehicle fires. It’s very easy to believe how that transpires: if you’ve never at any time experienced a firework suddenly igniting neath a parked car and detected a minute of all-out panic, you’re part of the very fortunate people. All told the NFPA estimate that fireworks cause $43 million in property damage each year.
As a landlord in Sauk City, you are spot on to be worried about your tenants lighting fireworks in, on, or near your rental properties. Though we can surely know the reasoning for why they might fancy to, the numbers alone are a weighty reason to speak with your renters about not kindling fireworks at their rental property. One way to convince them to honor your request might be to offer them information on firework safety and the risks involved.
