Lets get to the point folks! How to fry a delicious turkey without the need of any Miami Fire Damage Restoration company along with sirens and a show for the entire block to see.

1. Make sure you have a “turkey fryer”, abuelas crock pot will not work!
2. Use oils with a high smoke point, like canola oil and peanut oil. Our favorite is peanut oil; it gives the turkey a really nice crunch and taste.
3. DO NOT OVERFILL the fryer with oil.  Remember that when the turkey is added to the oil, the oil will rise. We suggest adding oil to 1/3 of the fryer before heating the oil and do a test by submerging the turkey to see how much oil you will need.
4. The turkey has to be thawed, AKA at room temperature.
5. ONLY fry the turkey outdoors, in a ventilated area, away from buildings, the uncle that drinks a bit too much and any flammable objects. If it has a roof then it’s a NO-NO.
6. Pick a flat and sturdy surface; we wouldn’t want any spilling.
7. Keep at least two feet of space between the liquid propane tank and the fryer burner.
8. Wear well-insulated potholders or oven mitts and safety goggles to protect eyes from oil splatter.
9. Add the turkey to the hot oil slowly and very carefully; any spilling of hot oil into the burner may cause a fire
10. If oil begins to smoke, immediately TURN THE GASS OFF.
11. Keep away from children, pets and those who might be a little tipsy.
12. Keep a fire extinguisher near by.
13. Do not leave the fryer unattended; oil stays hot hours after the turkey is done frying.
14. Keep a bed near for you will be very sleepy after eating a huge, unnecessary portion of crispy turkey.

Be safe!

Cooking Fires

The leading cause of house fires in the US is cooking accidents. Over forty percent of fires in the home occur in the kitchen. In order to avoid starting a fire in this vulnerable area, follow these guidelines:

1. Do not leave the stove unattended while it is on.
2. Do not leave flammable items near the stove.
3. Keep a fire extinguisher in the kitchen where it is easily accessible in case of a kitchen fire.

Always follow standard safety procedures while working in the kitchen, and be sure you know how to respond to different types of fires. Grease fires must be dealt with differently than other types of fires, for example.

Smoking Fires

About twenty-five percent of people who die in fires are killed in fires started by cigarettes. Cigarettes fall or brush against flammable materials inside the house, igniting a fire. To avoid these types of fires, smoke outside the house and never smoke while in bed, as the cigarette could fall to the sheets if you fall asleep.

Fires Triggered by Heating Mechanisms

During the winter, keeping the house warm is a necessity. But a large number of wintertime fires are sparked as a result of heating equipment. During the winter, be sure to:

1. Keep flammable objects away from heaters, fireplaces or space heaters.
2. Keep furnaces, heaters and chimneys properly maintained.
3. Do not use fuel that is not meant for the heating mechanism.

By following these safety guidelines, you can greatly reduce the possibility that you will experience a house fire.

However, there are times when furniture can be restored and it is economical to do so. Quality and antique furniture may be impossible to replace. A lot of furniture sold now is just not as well-made as that made in the past. For instance, the frame of a sofa may be constructed from a lesser and lighter wood than the hardwoods used in the past. A dresser of yesterday may be all solid wood compared to modern dressers that often incorporate fiber board, paneling and veneers in their construction.

This is not a task for amateurs. Soot and smoke are toxic and contain cancer-causing carcinogens. The work can be tedious, which encourages a progressively sloppy effort. For these reasons, a professional water/ fire damage company should be hired to do the work. It must be done as soon as possible, because the longer the soot sits, the more it will sink in to the fabric or wood.

The restoration professionals have the tools and knowledge to repair furniture in the best manner possible. Each piece of furniture will be inspected to determine the proper course of action. Furniture can be cleaned, reupholstered, refinished and repaired as needed. Deodorization processes are able to remove the all-invasive smell of smoke. Furniture may require water removal techniques such as extraction and the application of desiccants. It will then be placed in dehumidified environment.

Cost is a major concern. Most fire restoration services will provide an estimate that compares the value of replacement with restoration. The consumer has a choice whether or not to restore fire and water damaged furniture. Many choose to save their furniture after learning that it is possible.

Soot Damage
Soot is a fine black carbon powder that results from the incomplete combustion between a fuel source, such as wood or coal and the air. Soot is actually an oily substance that continues to cause damage long after putting out the fire if not handled properly.

Smoke and soot travels into the HVAC (heating, ventilation and air conditioning) system duct work and into pipe work as well. The residue left behind not only clogs air ducts and pipes, but also releases tiny toxic particles (carcinogens) into the air you breathe.

Besides soot, secondary damage can be imposed from water in the form of mold and rust corrosion; thus it is advisable to have structural components of the home replaced. A pungent odor is often left behind even after visible signs of soot damage are gone. Roofing materials frequently sustain damage in the course of putting out the fire. Walls, cabinets, carpets and roofing materials should be replaced to ensure the health and safety of the inhabitants and to make certain the house can be adequately insured again after restoration.

Health and Safety Codes
Many cities and counties have municipal codes regarding the disposal of infected, contaminated or chemically hazardous materials. After a fire, it is best to replace structural components of a house that may contain hazardous chemical deposits from soot damage and deeply embedded smoke odor. Insurance companies may hesitate to insure the home again if structural elements damaged by soot are only cleaned rather than replaced.

Not only is the overpowering odor displeasing to the nose, the smoke that caused the smell continues to do damage even after the fire is extinguished. If not immediately treated, permanent damage and discoloration could affect most of the items within the building.

Untreated smoke and fire damage to a building’s structure may not be noticed right away by the average person. Utility lines and wiring within the walls need to be checked for damage, evaluated for safety and immediately repaired. The roof of the structure can host embers and sparks that need to be identified right away. It is vital to allow a professional check all areas of the property.

Health dangers that follow a building fire include carcinogens and other hazardous materials that a fire can leave behind. Cleaning products, batteries, painting materials and other household products can become volatile when exposed to extreme heat and fire. The toxins left behind can cause serious health problems.

Proper treatment by a fire damage restoration professional should be sought out immediately. Waiting days or weeks can not only limit the salvation of the property, it can be downright dangerous. Fire damage restoration and neutralization is typically done in multiple phases. Ideally, treatment should begin within a few hours.

In South Florida, the potential for the home or business structure to develop mold and mildew after a fire is even greater than other areas of the country, thanks to the hot and humid climates we face daily. Microorganisms, fungi and bacteria can grow and spread very quickly in moist environments, particularly after a fire disaster.

Hiring Super Restoration for your fire damage immediately after a fire not only ensures the safety of the structure, but also the health of loved ones or business associates. Fighting fire damage doesn’t have to be a solitary feat. Let us, the professionals help pick up the pieces – and then start anew.
