Storm-related fires and outages
Severe storms in Alabama cause power outages, and fires from candles, generators, and damaged wiring often follow. Board-up and tarping may be needed for both storm and fire damage on the same property.
Hurricane season and fire recovery
After hurricanes in Alabama, generator and electrical fires are a known hazard. Fire restoration here often overlaps with water and wind damage, so documenting each separately helps your claim.
Humidity and smoke odor
Humid air in Alabama helps smoke odor settle into porous materials, and firefighting water can start mold growth quickly. Drying and odor treatment should begin soon after the property is released.
