Following a fire damage at this local College, our team was proud to arrive in our trusty green caravan to help make this fire damage, "Like it never even happened."

Despite a scary weather forecast, our team was able to enjoy a beautiful Saturday out at the Roanoke Valley Firefighters Foundation Charity Golf Tournament at the Roanoke Country Club.  We look forward to next year!

This fire was determined to be caused by an improperly disposed of cigarette.  The fire engulfed the first level of the home damaging the home and the contents.  The paint bubbled off the walls due to the heat.  Very frightening view.

The "spider webbing" that you see here are actually called soot strands.  These are not the result of inadequate housekeeping.  Soot strands are common when there is a lot of smoke.  They are a fine black particle, mostly composed of carbon, produced by incomplete combustion of coal, oil, wood, or other fuels. 

This is what happens to your home in the event of fire.  The fire burnt through the ceiling, collapsing the ceiling and the insulation into the master bedroom.  The water used to extinguish the fire collapsed what little insulation was left, leaving the homeowner with this mess!

This fire started in the attic and spread through out the 2nd floor of the home.  The fire burnt through the roof, then collapsed the ceilings on the 2nd floor.  The water used to put out the blaze also caused much damage to the structure.
