Fire damage includes far more than a few piles of ash and a couple of strategically placed soot marks. Smoke and soot are greasy, corrosive, odorous, and can be difficult to find while being more difficult to remove. Attempts at remediation can be worse than useless; using the wrong equipment can push the damaging particles further into the materials you were trying to salvage. Water or sewage also spread throughout the house, damaging both porous and nonporous materials over time. If the water is left for over 24 to 48 hours, then mold or other microbial growth develops.

Fireplace Safety Tips

Our team members at SERVPRO of Bemidji, Grand Rapids & Hibbing are astoundingly well-trained in all kinds of restoration from fire damage, so we looked to informational sites from local fire departments about keeping your family and your property safe from fireplace mishaps.

Some of the tips are:

• Fire and many chemicals don't mix
• Never use gasoline, kerosene, or charcoal starter
• Don't burn painted, pressure-treated, or plywood
• Start fires only with dry kindling, newspaper, or pinecones
• Dry wood burns more completely than we wood, leaving behind less residue
• Pinecones contain resins that burn quickly and are hot enough to ignite firewood
• Wet wood forms more residue in your chimney, making out-of-control fires more likely
• Firewood should be seasoned for 12 months and have moisture content under 20%
• Keep the fireplace and the chimney clean
• Better airflow
• Cleaner combustion
• Less chance of fires getting out of control
• Keep flammables at least 3 feet away from the heat source
• Keep a fire extinguisher nearby
