Every day, a fire department in America responds to a fire from commercial to residential property. Fire spreads out really fast, covering many surfaces that could result in a massive amount of damage and property loss. Lives could also be lost due to fire; thus, it is imperative to prioritize the safety of the people inside the property among anything else. Fires could destroy entire buildings while some can rage confined in a single room. You might think small flames and smoke can do minimal damage, then you should think otherwise. If a fire affects only a part of the building, it could still set off a chain reaction to the whole building, such as utility interruption, sprinkler flooding, smoke and soot damage, and chemical messes. 

Fire can cause severe and significant damage to any property. Anything a fire touch is likely to be burned and destroyed, leaving them neglected like walls, cabinets, countertops, and many more. Fire damage also leaves a bad odor that stains and sully various surfaces, including carpets and walls. Some might think that water damage is unlikely to happen during a fire, but the truth is they occur together. The fire can damage the pipe and tanks resulting in water leaking out. Electrical wirings, appliances, and plumbing can also be affected by the fire damage. Once the fire is out, the first 48 hours are known as the golden hours of recovery that require an effective emergency response. This is to stabilize the facility, ensuring the recovery of as much property as possible. The acidic soot and smoke damage accelerate the corrosion and deterioration of the building, which is why an immediate fire damage restoration process should be started immediately.

Different damages need to be dealt with in various manners. For example,  water damage should be addressed by finding the source of moisture, removing large pools of water, and dry out anything that is affected. The smell and dirt left by the fire also needs to be cleaned and sanitized with several cleaning appliances and industrial equipment. This is to ensure that any health issues that could be caused by the bad odor that lingers in the air.
