This is an example of a heavy fire damage that we recently completed in Tupelo.  The home was delivered back to the customer in stellar condition using following cleanup, deodorization, and reconstruction.  

The homeowner experienced a chimney fire in Fulton, MS.  Thru SERVPRO’s response we were able to help the customer successfully navigate the many different phases of recovery following a fire covering contents and structure. 

SERVPRO provides Duct/HVAC Cleanings anywhere from new construction dust, general cleaning, and mold contaminated units. We clean the vent covers before reinstalling them to ensure everything looks good as new when you walk through the home.

After a home experiences a fire damage it can leave the home un-identifiable. This fire was caused by cooking in the garage and the fire fighters had some challenges controlling the fire. 

In case of an electrical fire, make sure you do not use water to put out the fire. If the fire is small and you see something starting to smoke and catch on fire, turn off the circuit at the breaker, if its plugged into a wall then unplug and use a fire extinguisher to put out any flames. If no appropriate fire extinguisher is available, you can also use baking soda to extinguish an electrical fire. Typically, an overloaded circuit will flip a breaker. If you know a circuit is being overloaded but the breaker didn't trip, if you can safely do so, you should turn off the breaker yourself or flip the main breaker to the whole house. If you have had a fire, find an electrician to evaluate what you'll need to do to prevent another fire from occurring.

The 1st step to being prepared is to have a plan! There's no where that plan matters most than at home with the ones you love. Do you have a family emergency plan?

Bedrooms are where fires often start. More than 600 lives were lost due to fire that started in the bedroom. Common causes of these fires are electrical devices that were left unattended. These are just some basic reminders to keep you safe.

• Do not plug cords near beds. Do not trap cords near the wall or place them under carpets. Also, do not leave laptops on your bed.
• Never smoke in bed – No matter how conscious you are.

This is a fire that happened at a local restaurant in Verona, MS due to an A/C unit malfunction during the night. According to FEMA, as would be expected, cooking was by far the leading cause of restaurant fires, accounting for 64 percent of restaurant fires. Heating and electrical malfunction each accounted for an additional 7 percent. All other causes, including unintentional, careless actions (4 percent), appliances (4 percent), other heat (3 percent) and several other categories at less than 3 percent each accounted for the remaining 23 percent of restaurant fires. SERVPRO of Tupelo was able to respond the very next morning and has been on the job ever since.
