Fires Cause Smoke Damage to Surrounding Neighborhoods

11/14/2019 (Permalink)

While some fires cause direct physical damage to structures, many people are not aware that smoke can travel for many miles and cause significant harm to far away homes and businesses. Soot, ash, and other airborne chemicals released by fires adhere to window coverings, stucco, and attic ducting. These chemicals create pungent fire and smoke odors that can make a home or business uninhabitable. Once affected by smoke in this way, simple home cleaning or air sanitizing won’t get the job done.
