The thought of a fire occurring within your home or business is terrifying! Fires cause widespread, often devastating damage, and they immediately put everyone inside in serious danger. But putting out the fire is only half the battle.

Problems Caused by Smoke and Fire Damage

It is no secret that fires cause extensive damage, and the damage happens in waves. The flames of the fire burn structural materials, furnishings, and everything else it encounters, and it can easily leave a building structurally unstable.

When this happens, the building needs to be stabilized right away. Otherwise, it could be at risk of collapse.

The fire itself is not the only source of damage. The heat from the fire and the burning of synthetic materials create soot, residue, and other corrosive byproducts. These will persist after the fire and continue spreading, settling on various objects and surfaces. The corrosive byproducts cause tarnishing and etching to the affected materials. This damage will become permanent if does not reach treatment quickly enough.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Fire Triangle?

The fire triangle is the three components necessary for a fire to ignite: heat, fuel, and oxygen. Heat is the energy source, usually in the form of a spark or intense heat. Fuel can be any combustible material, like wood, paper, cloth, or gasoline. Oxygen aids combustion. If any point of the triangle is taken away, the fire will not be able to sustain itself and will eventually extinguish.

What are the different fire classes?

Understanding the differences between fire classes can help ensure you are prepared to act quickly and effectively if a fire occurs.

Most common fire classifications and what they involve:

• Class A fires: materials like paper, fabric, wood, and plastics. These should be extinguished with water or foam.
• Class B fires: combustible liquids like gasoline, grease, oil products, and petroleum. These should be suppressed with a dry chemical fire extinguisher. Never use water on a class B fire; it can further spread flammable liquids.
• Class C fires: Wiring from electrical equipment and circuits. Class C can not be fought with water. They should be smothered with a non-conductive extinguishing agent like carbon dioxide or halon gas.
