FIRE, FIRE, FIRE!

An action shot of our crew working on the Pasadena job.

To bring in the new year, we received a job from a restaurant in Pasadena that had sustained a structure fire in a ventilation system. The fire originated from the main floor and worked its way to the second floor where it affected offices and the stairwell. Smoke filled up the entire building including the basement level. 

Roughly everyday there are 15-20 general laborers and 3-4 restoration supervisors on site. Starting in March, our crew was working on heavy demolition which opened up cavities to allow ventilation throughout the building. This also allowed for our crew to clean the studs and framing for odor lock. 

How can You Prevent this from Happening to You?

What can you do for preventative measures? 

• Make sure that you have installed an automatic fire-suppression system in the kitchen. 
• Have portable fire extinguishers on hand.
• Schedule regular maintenance.
• Train your employees on fire safety and have an emergency plan set in place.
