TYPES OF FIRE DAMAGE
Fire damage can devastate homes and businesses, leading to significant financial and emotional hardship. The immediate destruction of property, along with the loss of personal belongings and business assets, can be overwhelming. Beyond the visible damage of charred structures and burned materials, fires can compromise the integrity of a building, making it unsafe to occupy without extensive repairs. Smoke and soot particles can infiltrate walls, air ducts, and furniture, causing long-term odors and health hazards if not properly cleaned and remediated.
Flammable Fire Damage
Fire damage from flammable solids like wood, paper, or cloth is marked by charred materials and structural damage, along with persistent smoke odor. Fire damage from flammable liquids such as gasoline, oil, or paint results in intense heat and flames, leading to anything from minor discoloration to major structural damage.
Electrical Equipment Fire Damage
This type of fire damage involves electrical equipment such as appliances, wiring or outlets. These types of fires are especially dangerous because they involve electricity, which can cause shock hazards for anyone attempting to put out the fire. In addition, extinguishing the fire with water can lead to further electrical damage and potential electrocution.
Cooking Oils Fire Damage
Fires involving cooking oils and fats are common in kitchens and can escalate rapidly if not addressed correctly. These fires start when oils or fats are heated beyond their ignition temperatures, causing them to react violently with the air. Such fires can produce high flames and thick smoke, making them difficult to control and hazardous.
