Fort Worth — charred framing after a house fire

Fire · Fort Worth

Fort Worth Fire Restoration — Contents in Place

Ceiling joists charred. Kitchen still a kitchen. Then the water from the attack. We board it, pull what failed, and dry what’s left.

Loss

House fire through living space, kitchen, bath, and ceiling cavities. Contents still in the rooms. Suppression water on the floors.

What we found

  • Ceiling joists charred in place. Wiring melted in the cavity. That is a framing and electrical call, not a paint call.
  • Kitchen cabinets still standing. Heat and soot on the remaining finishes. Clean or replace is written from the piece, not a room-wide package.
  • Bathroom took soot. The shower enclosure was still there. Tile that is sound stays. What is not, comes out.
  • Living room contents still in the house — furniture, TV, debris on the floor. Occupied-house fire, not a vacant demo.
  • Exterior openings boarded. Wet debris in the trailer, off the house.
  • Dehumidifiers on the truck. Firefighting water is a water loss. We dry it.

    Dry

    Suppression water is a water loss. Equipment on the truck, then on the floor.

What we did

Board-up. Selective demolition. Dump trailer. Air movers. Dehumidifiers.

Result

Boarded. Debris out. Remaining assemblies on a drying map. Rebuild is the charred ceiling, the kitchen, and the wet floor — written from what burned and what got wet, not from the first driveway number.
