08 Apr Fire & Smoke Damage Restoration Tips
Fire’s generally happen in a chemical reaction between the oxygen that is present in the atmosphere and a source of combustible fuel.
When the combustible fuel – carpet, furniture, or drywall – has been heated to its distinct ignition temperature, the fuel will catch fire and volatile gases will be released in the form of smoke.
While smoke and the residue it leaves behind can cause lasting damage and should be dealt with by experienced Long Beach Smoke and Fire Damage Restoration professionals, heat is the most notable, and destructive, product of this chemical reaction.
Even more, fire is self-perpetuating – meaning that as a fire comes into contact with additional fuel, the reaction continues and the fire gets even bigger
