Firefighters warn homeowners not to try to fight fires themselves. Fires move quickly; don’t be fooled by movies where the heroes and their dogs outrun fireballs. They advise people to use fire extinguishers only when:

• The fire is small AND
• Contained AND
• Everyone else is out of the house AND
• The firefighters are on the way

Even under these ideal conditions, with the flames kept to a minimum, the smoke and soot can (and usually do) spread throughout the house. Anyone who has ever mistakenly turned the toaster level to “incinerate” knows what that is like. Even if the firefighters aren’t needed, and there is no water damage, the soot and smoke are likely to create enough damage and more than enough of an odor that you will need professional remediation.  At SERVPRO of Fargo, we are always on call to provide emergency services. We are nearby, fast, friendly, and professional.
