The U.S. Geological Survey estimates a probability of approximately three chances in five that a damaging earthquake will occur in the Bay Area, Los Angeles or other areas within California in the next 25 years. However, it's not an earthquake that will cause the most catastrophic damage to businesses: fires following an earthquake can be the cause of up to 80 percent of total losses. Such an event is likely to affect more than 100,000 businesses in San Francisco and Los Angeles areas alone.  This year numerous fires have totally destroyed 1000's of homes and businesses in the Los Angeles Area.

Unique Products and Promotions' extended line of safety kits and products includes a full line of fire safety products to help prevent damage and protect workers and property, including fire extinguishers, smoke alarms, carbon monoxide detectors, ladders and blankets.
