TYPES OF SMOKE AND CARPET CLEANING SOLUTIONS
The first step at a fire scene is to calm the fears of those affected. Next, our technicians tests the smoke to see which of the following types of fire took place.
- Wet Smoke - Low heat, smoldering, pungent odor, sticky, smeary. Smoke webs are more difficult to clean.
- Dry Smoke - Fast burning at high temperatures.
- Protein - Virtually invisible, discolors paints and varnishes. Extreme pungent odor.
- Fuel Oil Soot - Furnace puff backs cause fuel oil soot.
- Other Types - Tear gas, fingerprint powder, and fire extinguisher residue are other types.
