Stay Safe Around the Campfire This Summer

One of the best parts of summer is camping in the outdoors, and the experience wouldn'tย be complete without a campfire. Just thatย smokyย smellย can bring back cheerfulย memories of roasting marshmallows, singing, and bonding with family and friends. Knowing the basics of fire safety is important to ensure that you and your family can enjoy these happy moments.

According to theย Indiana Department of Homeland Security, โ€œCampfires are the nationโ€™s leading cause of childrenโ€™s camping injuries, and the primary catalyst for damaging forest fires.โ€ In the state of Utah, there haveย beenย almost 400ย human-caused forest firesย in the yearย 2016ย alone. Knowing this,ย we at Utah Flood Cleanup wantย to help you know what to do to prevent and manage any fire-related emergencies. If one should happen to you, our experts can helpย get your life back to normal.

Fire Safety and Prevention Tips

In many Utah counties this summer, conditions are so dry that any open fires except campfires are prohibited. Itโ€™s important to make sure your campfire is in aย permitted area and that it is set upย correctly.

  • Clear an 8 to 10-foot radius around your fire.Things you should make sure are not in thisย radius include:ย power lines, buildings, automobiles, equipment, shrubs, low-hanging branches, rotten stumps, steep slopes, chairs, food, garbage, andย any other flammable objects. Keep in mind that the heat from your fire can rise muchย higher than the flames you can see.
  • Prepare a proper fire pit. If there is no pre-existing pit, dig a hole about a foot deep. If you donโ€™t do this, the fire can spread through roots underground. Then, placeย rocks around the edgeย of your pit to create a barrier. Use dry leaves or grass as tinder, then start the fire with small sticks for kindling. Place logs in a teepee shape around that. Add larger, drier pieces as the fire grows.
  • Prevent the fire from causing harm.ย Avoid using flammable liquids to start your fire. If you use a match, make sure itย is cold before throwing it in. Have water, dirt, or a shovel close by at all times so you can put out the fire at any moment. Never leave the fire unattended, and always monitor children and pets.
  • Put it out correctly.Always put out the fire before going to bed. Stir the embers and make sure the coals are cold. If using water, pour it on the embersย until the sizzling noise stops.ย If it's too hot toย touch, then you shouldnโ€™t leave itย alone.

Managing a Fire Emergency

Itโ€™s always best toย preventย a fireย emergency, but it is also good to have some ideas about what to do should one occur.

  • Use stop, drop, and roll if your clothing catches fire.
  • If a fire is spreading, move furniture, flammable objects, and especially any children out of the way.
  • Use a soaked towel or tarp to smother the flames. Throw water at the edges.
  • If anyone sustains any burns, make sure the injuriesย are cooled and covered to prevent infection.
  • Most important of all, make sure to call the authorities if the fire gets out of control or if anyone is seriously injured.

Avoid Air Conditioning Fires This Summer

AC-UnitItโ€™s summer again, which means more stress on your air conditioner than any other time during the year. This is the season that many home owners wish they kept up with regular HVAC maintenance as malfunctions can cause their cooling systems to fail. Whatโ€™s worse is that, in some cases, air conditioning units are prone to catastrophic failure, even to the point of causing a fire. The experts at Utah Flood Cleanup are trained in smoke and fire cleanup, and we know how devastating an air conditioner fire can be.

Air Conditioning Risk Factors

In the heat of summer, air conditioners suffer heavy use and are pushed to their limit. On warmer days, the unit may run for the entire day, rarely catching a break. Outdoor units as well as in-window units are essentially boxes of friction and electricity, and therefore serious fires do happen from time to time.

There are a few things to consider in determining whether your home and family are at risk of an air-conditioner fire.

  • Is your unit installed properly?

HVAC specialists do not come cheap, and thereโ€™s a reason for that. Your air conditioner is what protects your family from the heat of summer. Since it endures heavy use in the summer months, it is important that the unit be installed properly.

Approximately one third of all AC fires are caused not by the unit itself, but by the electrical wires and cables. Wiring installation is extremely delicate and, if not done by a trained and licensed specialist, you run a higher risk of a fire. Electrical work should never be attempted by an amateur.

  • Is your air conditioner being maintained regularly?

While air conditioners do generate cool air, the unit itself also generates heat. When the two mix, condensation occurs. There are many recorded cases of condensation buildup puddling around electrical wires or short-circuiting the unit itself. Water and electricity are a recipe for an AC fire. Regular visits from HVAC specialists can check for these kinds of problems, thereby eliminating a major cause of AC fires.

Reduce the Risk of AC Unit Fires

There are a few things that you can do as a homeowner to ensure your risk of fire is as low as possible, and you donโ€™t need to be a trained HVAC specialist to do these simple checks.

  • Check for dripping water

As mentioned earlier, AC units are prone to dripping and water accumulation. Besides being a hotbed for bacteria and bugs, dripping water can penetrate your other electrical appliances to cause short circuits and potentially create a fire hazard.

  • Check for exposed wires

Since a third of all AC fires are caused by wiring, itโ€™s a good idea to check wires regularly to ensure they are properly insulated. This is a simple check that is more relevant if you are using an older unit.

  • Use your nose

Friction fires caused by the rotation of the unitโ€™s internal fan will create a strong, metallic odor before they ignite. Poor lubrication and tight or worn motor bearings are usually the culprit, especially in an older or overworked unit. If your air conditioner is experiencing excessive friction, contact a specialist right away.

Contact Utah Flood Cleanup for Your Fire Remediation Needs

The Do's & Dont's of Fire Damage

If your home has been damaged by fire, it is important that you know the right steps to take and which ones to avoid. Taking the correct steps following fire damage to your home, including hiring a fire restoration company, can help prevent more long-term and costly damage to your property. Make sure to contact us as soon as possible if your home has suffered damage from a fire, flood, mold or any other disaster. We are available to assist you 24/7.

Fire Damage Doโ€™s

  • Safety is the top priority: Never enter your home until you have been given permission by fire safety authorities. Once you have been given permission, always take the appropriate safety measures, which include wearing gloves and respiratory protection. As the Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration Certification (IICRC) explains, soot residue from fires can lead to respiratory problems and other serious medical issues.
  • Keep movements in your home to a minimum: This is for safety reasons and to prevent airborne soot particles from getting into upholstery and carpets. Always wear a respirator if you have to be inside your home.
  • Open windows and put in fans. For ventilation, open the windows and put in box fans. This will help push out contaminated air and dust, while limiting more extensive smoke damage and the risk of injury.
  • Vacuum loose soot from upholstery and carpets with a HEPA (High-Efficiency Particulate Air) Filter. High efficiency vacuums with effective filtration systems work to stop soot from being pushed back into cleaned spaces. Make sure to change the filter on a frequent basis.
  • Bedding, clothing and other materials should be washed or laundered. An alkaline cleaner can be used on washable materials; it works by neutralizing the acid in the soot. Finer materials should be sent to a professional dry-cleaner who has restoration cleaning experience with smoke-damaged clothing. Make sure the dry-cleaner cleaner knows the proper methods for removing soot and smoke odor and has the required equipment.

Fire Damage Dont's

  • Don't use electrical appliances, including TVs, stereos and ceiling fans until they have been properly cleaned and checked.
  • Donโ€™t eat canned goods or packaged foods. These items may have become contaminated, due to intense heat, smoke and soot exposure.
  • Don't toss out damaged goods immediately. Make sure to take a full inventory first that includes all items before discarding anything.
  • Don't wash surfaces, including walls and ceilings, before first getting advice from a professional, who knows the proper methods for removing soot.
  • Don't send smoke-damaged articles to a regular dry-cleaner. The wrong cleaning methods on smoke-damaged clothing can worsen the smoke odor and make it more permanent.
  • Don't wait to hire a fire restoration company. The longer you put off the cleaning and restoration process, the higher the costs and extent of damage to your home and property.

How To Avoid 4th of July Fires

The Fourth of July is a great time to get together with friends and family, enjoy some good food and fireworks, and celebrate our great nation. Unfortunately, it's also the one day out of the year when the most fires are reported, according to the NFPA. With 2 out of 5 of every reported fires being firework related, it's important to know a few firework safety tips to keep you and your family safe this holiday, and know who to call and what to do in the event that a fire is started on your property.

Avoiding Fire and InjuryWoman Holding Sparklers

  • Pay Attention to the Wind

Before lighting fireworks, make sure that the wind is blowing away from onlookers. If there is too much wind, or too many direction changes, stop using fireworks immediately.

  • Don't Drink and Light Fireworks 

There are many things that alcohol should not be mixed with, and lighting fireworks is definitely one of them. Mixing these two increases your chances at handling fireworks inappropriately, causing harm to yourself, people, and property around you.

  • Only Light One at a Time 

Some fireworks, when lit together, cause a large and uncontrollable flare. This is the case with fireworks such as sparklers. It's always better to be safe than sorry and just light one at a time.

  • Do Not Allow Children to Handle Fireworks

Fireworks may be a ton of fun, but they still pose risks and should be left to adults who are responsible and sober. Never allow children to handle fireworks-they can enjoy the show from the sidelines.

  • Keep Water Close By

Keeping a hose, bucket, or fire extinguisher nearby is extremely important when lighting fireworks. There should also be a designated person in your group to act as the fireman, whose job is to keep a careful eye out for any fires and be able to respond immediately with water or an extinguisher.

  • Fireworks Are Not Weapons

Be smart with fireworks and don't use them as weapons. Make sure you never point fireworks at any person, animal, or property.

  • Use Common Sense

Many accidents can be prevented if good judgment and common sense are used when lighting fireworks. Make sure to read all labels, warnings and directions,
and follow all of the laws in your area to prevent harm. In addition, never light fireworks that require a license unless you have the proper licensing to do so.

What to Do if There is a Fireworks-Related Fire

In the event that your property is damaged due to a fire, it's important to call Utah Flood Cleanup right away to help remedy fire and smoke damage. While you wait for our arrival, you should avoid the area that the fire occurred in. If you can safely do so, make sure to unplug any and all electrical devices in the home. Finally, if the fire was damaging enough that you can't stay on your property, gather a few important belongings and find a place to stay until cleanup is complete.

Once we arrive, we use powerful air fresheners to rid your home of any lingering smoke odors. Suction tools are then employed to get rid of any soot on the walls and furniture and we have various tools to make sure that any soot is removed from the area without further damage. Finally, a sealant to protect surfaces damaged by fire will be applied.

The damage left behind after a fire is devastating. It can damage the structure of your home, leave soot behind, and contaminate your entire home with overpowering smoke odor. Calling a professional company who has experience in cleaning up these kinds of serious messes is important to protecting your home and assessing any further damage.

5 Potential Fire-Starters In Your Home

No matter how careful you are, thereโ€™s a chance your home is hiding a fire hazard, possibly even in plain sight. For the safety of yourself and everyone else that resides in your home, we hope that this list will prompt you to take a closer look at some of these potentially dangerous situations that can become more serious when left untreated.

Fire Damage and Utah Renters Insurance

Josh, tell me a little bit about this job.

Okay. so what happened was a tenant was making tortillas. We are at an apartment complex. She was making them on her stove with some oil. She stepped away to tend to her kids and the pan caught on fire. She came in and grabbed the pan and threw it into the sink. She put water on it which isn't the best way to handle a grease fire.

That caused the flame to shoot up which then activated the fire suppression system in here.

I see the darkest smoke in soot areas are right here about the sink.

That would probably be from the protein and tortilla that caught on fire. It's just a different type of
fire from a structural fire.

What's lucky about as one is that she had renter's insurance. The renters insurance, because she is responsible for the day damage, is going to take care structure as well as her personal contents that were damaged. She's looking at tens of thousands of dollars in damage that was caused to this apartment complex.

We're on the third floor so the damage isn't only in this unit. It went across the hall as well as down 2 more levels.

Yes. That's correct. There are quite a few units affected from her accident. Good thing she had renters insurance.

That is a good lesson to be learned. It's not just to protect her TV and her sofa. It's to protect her liability against the damage that she could cause.

Yes. That's correct.

Smoke and Fire Damage

Why Should I Hire a Professional to Inspect my Home After a Fire?

 

A fire can cause much damage to a personโ€™s home. This damage can cause your home to become a danger zone. Weakened foundation, walls, and/or ceiling can cause your home to be unsafe for you to enter. 

After you have experienced a fire in your home it is important to hire a professional to inspect your house to help keep you safe and to help save you money.

Weakened by fire

The average house fire burns at about 1,100 degrees Fahrenheit. This amount of heat can easily destroy your homes foundation. In the event that you enter your home after a fire and your foundation is damaged, you can possibly get hurt by falling through the floor. Also, your walls and ceilings pose a threat to you. These items could have become weak by the fire and as a result they may fall at anytime.

Entering a home with weak ceilings or walls can easily put your life in danger. These items can fall on you, causing you to have a concussion or other life threatening injuries. When you hire a professional he or she has the equipment and experience needed to inspect your home. They know what and where the dangers zones are and can avoid putting themselves in harmโ€™s way.

Dangers of Smoke and Ash

In addition to the home posing a threat to a homeowner, smoke and ash from the fire can also be dangerous. The smoke from the fire can cause the damaged home to have an intense odor. If the homeowner decides to inspect the home by him or her, the smoke can cause and allergic reaction or it can even trigger an asthma attack.

The same can occur with the ash. If inhaled by the homeowner, this can cause a negative respiratory reaction. By hiring a professional this can be avoided. A professional has access to masks and other equipment that prevents one from inhaling dangerous odors and particles left behind by the fire.Fire Damage

Save Money

Hiring a professional to inspect your home not only helps you to stay safe but it can help to save you money. Professionals have a trained eye are able to effectively and efficiently inspect your home and learn what in your home is salvageable and what is in need of repair. If a homeowner inspects the home by his or herself, they may fail to see some items that are in need to be repaired or restored.

If these items were damaged by ash, then the ash could cause further damage to the property. Donโ€™t let this happen to you, hire a professional to properly inspect your home.

If your Ogden home has had any smoke or fire damage, Call Utah Flood Cleanup today at (801) 416-2666 today and get the right professionals on the job.

Sadly, I've had to use Utah Flood Cleanup 4 times in the last year! I really appreciate how quickly they responded to each casualty. They were there right away! Daryl, the owner, gave me a price that was half of the other quote I got, and his men are professionals... not kids who don't have a clue. Plus, he included more "fixes" in his quote for less money. He is very knowledgeable and I felt very confident in his recommendations. He also worked directly with our insurance adjuster so that I didn't have to! I highly recommend this company.

I called Utah Flood Cleanup when I had a leak in the kitchen that drained down into the basement. Daryl came out shortly after speaking to me on the phone! He was friendly, professional and very knowledgeable. He quickly and thoroughly assessed the situation, explaining everything he did as he went along. I was very impressed with how thorough he was in his examination of the damage. He let me know up front what I was looking at and I felt he was very honest and reasonable. I've had other companies out who seem to know very little and just want to start ripping everything out at once! Daryl explained and showed me why he recommended what he did and I felt very comfortable and confident in his recommendations. I highly recommend this company!! You won't be sorry.

Within the last year we had a major flood in the basement, and just today had another water issue that flooded a smaller portion of the basement. I called The Flood Company immediately and they were on-site within an hour or so. I'm extremely pleased with The Flood Co. The professionalism and expertise demonstrate by Jackson and Sam put my mind at ease, knowing we would be taken care of well. I would recommend The Flood Company to anyone in need of these services. They get a five star rating from us!

Utah Flood Cleanup is amazing! Josh and Jesus stopped by after their shift and were kind enough to give us a free inspection of our flood problem. Our little 4 year old thought he'd make a sauna in the bathroom. He flipped the shower on and walked away. We never heard the water running and came upstairs to put my daughter to bed. Sure enough, the shower was pointed into the bathroom and flooded the whole thing. Josh and Jesus came out got the whole place inspected, pulled out themal meters and moisture meters and confirmed there was water damage (and old mold growth from previous spills). They grabbed their tools and began demolishing the floor themselves, right then and there so we could get fans on it to prevent future mold growth. I hope I never have another flood but if I do, I'm definitely calling them again! They're the best!!~~~

You showed up to our house based upon little information. When you got here you went right to work looking to see what was going on. With being a family of 7, it can be a scramble being out of a bathroom and no shower. You were excellent and so kind on letting us know what our options are and what you can do to resolve the problem in our basement bathroom. With being in our new home, not even making a second mortgage payment yet, it is hard to discover there is mold and a water leak through out the basement bathroom and laundry room. I really appreciate the time you took out of your day to come to our house. My brother in law referred us to you, and it was the best referral, so thank you very much.

I called Utah Flood Cleanup when I had a leak in the kitchen that drained down into the basement. Daryl came out shortly after speaking to me on the phone! He was friendly, professional and very knowledgeable. He quickly and thoroughly assessed the situation, explaining everything he did as he went along. I was very impressed with how thorough he was in his examination of the damage. He let me know up front what I was looking at and I felt he was very honest and reasonable. I've had other companies out who seem to know very little and just want to start ripping everything out at once! Daryl explained and showed me why he recommended what he did and I felt very comfortable and confident in his recommendations. I highly recommend this company!! You won't be sorry.

We wanted our house checked for mold due to a moderately high mold count in the air sample. They were very thorough and found only one small spot in the bathroom that needed attention. They advised on our options for dealing with it and did not propose expensive and unnecessary repairs.

Josh and Sam came to inspect the mold we found. They were on time, considerate and knowledgeable about our situation. They presented our options and recommendations to treat the issue. I will recommend Utah Disaster to my friends and family.

Jaxon came and assessed water damage in our basement. They were very helpful and went out of their way to make the experience as painless as possible. Very responsive when questions came up and they were never pushy, which I appreciate.

Within the last year we had a major flood in the basement, and just today had another water issue that flooded a smaller portion of the basement. I called The Flood Company immediately and they were on-site within an hour or so. I'm extremely pleased with The Flood Co. The professionalism and expertise demonstrate by Jackson and Sam put my mind at ease, knowing we would be taken care of well. I would recommend The Flood Company to anyone in need of these services. They get a five star rating from us!

My main water line broke and our crawl space was flooding. I called my insurance company and they recommended these guys. Sam and Jesus showed up and got things taken care of. They stopped the water line and put fans to dry the area. The insurance process was super smooth I'm glad I called them!

Utah Flood Cleanup is amazing! Josh and Jesus stopped by after their shift and were kind enough to give us a free inspection of our flood problem. Our little 4 year old thought he'd make a sauna in the bathroom. He flipped the shower on and walked away. We never heard the water running and came upstairs to put my daughter to bed. Sure enough, the shower was pointed into the bathroom and flooded the whole thing. Josh and Jesus came out got the whole place inspected, pulled out themal meters and moisture meters and confirmed there was water damage (and old mold growth from previous spills). They grabbed their tools and began demolishing the floor themselves, right then and there so we could get fans on it to prevent future mold growth. I hope I never have another flood but if I do, I'm definitely calling them again! They're the best!!~~~

I called in the morning and they came that afternoon. Chris and Jesus came. They were professional, polite, knowledgeable and they quickly got the place all cleaned up and prepped for the repair. Then they recommended some handymen to do the repair. I hired Hank and he was great too. Did the whole job in one day.

You showed up to our house based upon little information. When you got here you went right to work looking to see what was going on. With being a family of 7, it can be a scramble being out of a bathroom and no shower. You were excellent and so kind on letting us know what our options are and what you can do to resolve the problem in our basement bathroom. With being in our new home, not even making a second mortgage payment yet, it is hard to discover there is mold and a water leak through out the basement bathroom and laundry room. I really appreciate the time you took out of your day to come to our house. My brother in law referred us to you, and it was the best referral, so thank you very much.
