Smoke and Fire Damage Can Leave Unhealthy Fumes Behind. SERVPRO of Murrieta Makes Your Home Safe.

Keeping Families Safe is One of the Most Important Jobs at SERVPRO® of Murrieta

Proper remediation after fire or smoke damage is one way that we keep people safe. SERVPRO of Murrieta is Here to Help after smoke damage invades your home.

In Southern California, we all know smoke damage is possible even without a nearby fire. Smoke goes where the air goes, and the air goes everywhere.

Anyone who has plunged cold food into a pot of hot oil knows that smoke leaves ugly stains on the ceiling. They probably know the stain is hard to remove, and that the smell clings even in rooms far from the kitchen (a/k/a “scene of the grime”).

Smoke particles travel through the house as easily as they travel from forests to residential areas. The particles land in the HVAC system, inside closets, and within closed desk drawers. These particles may also worsen health problems such as asthma and allergies.

Reminders from FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency)

• Smoke, not flames, is responsible for most deaths. Carbon monoxide disorients or knocks people unconscious.
• Carbon monoxide also asphyxiates people, which is often how fire victims die.
• Residential fires are dangerous. Even a small fire can spread out of control quickly.
• Even if you don’t see flames, fires may have started by the time a smoke alarm goes off.

Our Department of Useless Information couldn’t stop itself from contributing trivia about fire and smoke:

• In Japan, parents used to tell their children that playing with fire would turn them (the kids, not the parents) into bedwetters. We can see that as an effective threat.
• In many countries, parents warned their children not to throw bread crusts in the fire as that would attract the devil. We don’t know why the devil would have wanted burned bread crusts. Besides, didn’t anyone have dogs? From current times back to the mists of history, children knew they could rely on the pets to eat almost anything.
• 18^th-Century Germans claimed that only men’s clothing could be used as tinder for fires. How much should we bet that some young man’s mother wanted to get a ratty old shirt away from him?
