This fire damage from a malfunctioning barbecque is a huge headache that our company is trained to take care of for you!

Navigating what to do when you're dealing with a fire requires a whole set of things to take care of that you probably haven’t given much thought to before at your Kingston/New Paltz property.

We’re here to help you every step of the way in terms of what to do and not to do in case of a fire. Once the firemen have deemed it safe to go in (in some cases they won’t), here are some important things to consider in this situation:

-DO NOT attempt to consume food or beverages that have been stored close to fire, heat or water. They could be contaminated. It is recommended to empty the fridge and freezer, it's likely the electric isn't even on at this time.

-DO NOT keep walking around inside the property. Keep your movements limited to help prevent soot particles from getting embedded into upholstery and carpet. Keep your hands clean to avoid further soiling.

-DO NOT turn on ceiling fixtures, they could’ve gotten wet or damaged and could cause electrical shock. In most cases, the electric has been turned off anyway as to not be a danger for the firefighters.

-DO NOT attempt to clean carpets, garments, electrical appliances, walls or painted surfaces BEFORE contacting SERVPRO of Kingston/New Paltz professionals.
