The Aftermath of a Wild Fire

Notice all the red residue.That is the retardant used by fire fighters to put the flames out.

Greetings from SERVPRO Benicia/Martinez/SE Vallejo! As most of you know, the most recent wild fire in California known as The Carr Fire destroyed so much. The fire burned approximately 229,651 acres , caused about 38,000 people to evacuate ,and destroyed around 1,604 structures. At least 1,077 of those structures were homes. All SERVPROs in California were ready to hit the road and help restore any structures that needed us. In the photo above, the owners were lucky to only need a cleaning done for all the fire retardant left behind from the firefighters putting out the fire on a hill very close to their home. We took pride in helping the owners get their yard and contents restored and looking good as new! Like it never even happened.
