The Damage That Remains After a Fire Is Put Out

When the fire department heads out, the hardest work is just getting started for Bessemer, AL homeowners.

Fire residue is acidic, which means it goes on eating into metal for days after the fire is out.

A lingering smell, an oily film near light fixtures, or buckled flooring near the fire’s origin are warnings that hidden damage remains.
