Francis Robbins Upton invented the first smoke detector in 1890 but the devices didn’t become practical until the 1970s. Then, as now, the main purpose of the detectors was to give people time to escape from the building. If the fire is small and contained, you may be able to extinguish the fire before it can spread.

The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) urges people to remember that the most important parts of a household are the family members; the priority is always on escape, not on saving the structure or belongings.

Even when the fire is small and extinguished quickly, the damage can be surprisingly large, especially if the fire started in the kitchen (we’ll explain soon). When fire or smoke damage blaze into your home, call the franchise professionals who have experience, training, and equipment to help make the damage “Like it never even happened.” SERVPRO of Murrieta.

Don’t worry about conventional business hours. When emergencies start restricting themselves to conventional business hours, we’ll do the same. Until then, we’re always available.

1. Soot and smoke are corrosive; they start causing damage immediately and keep causing damage until they are professionally removed.
2. Kitchen fires usually include food or grease, both of which may include protein. Smoke from protein is the trickster of smoke damage; it doesn’t show up at first, so you think you’re safe. It shows up later, but not at full strength. Homeowners think they have gotten rid of it, then see it reappear.
3. Soot and smoke travel with the air currents regardless of whether the HVAC is in use. They also travel up and from warm areas to cool. Our team members know where to look for soot and smoke, and therefore where to find soot and smoke damage and remediate the damage.
4. If you or the firefighters used water to extinguish the fire, there may be water damage that we can remediate.
5. Water damage may also mean microbial growth, including mold. Yeah, we remediate that.

Trivia!

A group of cattle is, no surprise, a herd. It is also, to our surprise at least, a drift, a drove, or a mob. There’s a poem in there somehow, not necessarily a good poem, but a poem, and if you find it, we’d love to see it.
