With the summer season in full swing, fire and water damage cleanup specialist Ryan Wolfe with SERVPRO of Lawrence, Owen, Greene & Martin Cos. reminds Bedford homeowners that popular summer activities - like grilling, setting off fireworks, and relaxing around a fire pit or campfire - can quickly turn from fun to flames, resulting in damage to property and structures, and even personal injury.
"Where you place your grill and fire pit matters," says Wolfe. "If you don't pay close attention to the location and environment, it could cause much more serious problems than just property damage. Even if the location of your grill or fire pit hasn't changed from past years, the setting may have changed and created a more dangerous situation with the addition of fallen branches, leaves or more combustible, aging decking materials." To help avoid a potential fire disaster, you need to control the three factors that allow a fire to start and grow: fuel, heat, and air. When you do build an intentional fire, for cooking, warmth, or simple enjoyment, a key element to control is fuel. The U.S. Fire Administration, a division of FEMA, offers these guidelines to help keep your summer fire activities under control.

Matrix Integration, a strategic IT infrastructure partner for more than 1,000 businesses and schools in the Midwest and beyond, announced today that the company has received SOC 2® - Type 2 (Service Organization Controls), a designation awarded to organizations that have proven their ability to oversee and safeguard their own and their clients’ data. The credential, granted by the American Institute of CPAs (AICPA), is becoming more critical than ever. In addition to safeguarding their own data, businesses – especially industries dealing with personal, confidential information (such as with the finance and healthcare industry) – need to make sure the partners they work with keep their data safe, along with proving to insurers and customers that they are working with partners that meet specific and rigorous compliance standards. The SOC 2 - Type 2 designation validates that these requirements exist and are being adhered to. “We’ve always protected our clients’ data and information, and so have the vendors that we work with, like Cisco and Microsoft,” said Rob Wildman, vice president, managed services for Matrix Integration. “By achieving the SOC 2 - Type 2, our clients can demonstrate to insurers, regulators or customers at any time that we, as their technology provider, have the controls in place for confidently managing client data.”
