How is Fire Damage Classified?
After the fire department extinguishes a fire, it’s up to the property owner to contact their insurance agent. In terms of evaluating the extent of the fire damage, insurance agents will often fit the damage caused by the fire into six different classes:
1. Class A Fire Damage: involving flammable solids, such as plastics, paper, or wood
2. Class B Fire Damage: damage resulting from flammable liquids, such as oil, petrol or paint
3. Class C Fire Damage: involving flammable gasses, such as hydrogen, propane, or natural gas
4. Class D Fire Damage: fires caused by combustible metals, such as magnesium, potassium, or sodium
5. Class E Fire Damage: involves the introduction of electrical elements
6. Class F Fire Damage: damage results from cooking oils and fats
Most insurance companies divide fire damage into two broad categories: primary and secondary. Primary fire damage occurs as a direct result of the flames. Secondary fire refers to damage due to smoke and corrosive substances.
What Are The Effects of Smoke From a Fire?
Smoke damage is caused by fuel that didn't burn, made visible by the presence of small particulate matter. These particles contain many harmful chemicals, including carbon monoxide, methane, acids, and even traces of heavy metals.
Smoke is typically classified as:
-
Driven smoke - is energized and pressurized, and is most common on walls, roofs and vertical surfaces
-
Free-floating smoke - has lost its energy and is typically found on horizontal surfaces where it has settled
No matter how bad the smoke damage, fires can release a number of hazardous materials that affect the health and wellbeing of everyone in your home. Professional fire restoration services can remove smoke residue, eliminate toxic chemicals, inspect damaged electrical lines, test heating and ventilation equipment, and make sure your family stays safe.
How to Salvage Materials Affected By Fire Damage
Vacuums that use a HEPA filter can clean many items, but you should inventory, photograph and note the treatment that each object receives. Fire remediation typically includes salvaging materials such as:
-
Carpets, hardwood flooring and tiles
-
Fabrics, drapes and blinds
-
Furniture and appliances
-
Statues, paintings and other décor
-
Books and paper materials
-
Silver and glass objects
Cleaning and sanitizing objects include using environmentally friendly methods for removing residues, disinfectants and antimicrobials to prevent mold and mildew, and HVAC cleaning for ensuring fresh air cycles.
