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.

Restoration companies can bring carpets back from the brink by returning carpets back to their original conditions. Most restoration companies are equipped to help homes and businesses that have been affected by natural disasters, such as hurricanes, tornadoes, rainstorms, mudslides, monsoons, and windstorms, as well as burst pipes, sewer damage, fires, and explosions. No job is too big for most restoration companies. The areas of a home or business that a restoration company can work with are, fire damage, burned walls, clean up, restore, recover, redesign, and reconstruction. Restoration companies have the most state of the art equipment that can perform a dry down of a home or business when water damage has occurred. Their equipment can extract water from any carpet and floor boards underneath. Then,they will use a combination of demolitions, drying equipment, and air movers to further the restoration process. They are also equipped with infra red cameras that can find water damage that is unseen by most people. Once a home or business has been dried down, the recovery stage can take place. This is where the carpet will be restored, redesigned, and reconstructed.

Once a home or a business has been accessed for damages, a restoration company can have carpet back to new again within a few days time. Getting to the water damaged areas as quick as possible will help to save a home or a business from destruction.

Professional fire restoration services will be able to properly and completely clean and remove all soot from the premises. Removing soot from porous items is difficult but possible. Soot can penetrate into porous items due to the unique physical qualities of the surface of the item. Leaving the soot on these items can have drastic negative consequences. Chemical deposits can be left behind which can later be transferred into the air by heating and air conditioning systems and cause respiratory issues. Items that cannot be cleaned of soot completely should be discarded for this reason.

Non-porous items are generally easier to clean. Glass and other non-porous surfaces can normally be restored with appropriate cleaning equipment and supplies. The equipment utilized to clean up after a fire includes high tech Industrial ultrasonic equipment used to clean computers completely. High pressure water is another technique used on appropriate surfaces. The equipment and supplies utilized by professional restoration companies is intended to restore the residential or commercial property to living or working quality with no presence of soot.

Fire restoration services must be sought from a fully trained professional. Cleaning up after a fire is not the same thing as removing excess soot from a fireplace area.

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.

At 11AM we received an emergency call from the property manager of the condo association advising they had just been the victims of a fire. The fire had spread to the ball room, hallways, and kitchen. An emergency service crew was disbursed to the scene, and by the time they arrived the local fire department was able to take control of the fire and put it out before it could spread any further.

With the knowledge that the damage a fire causes is threefold, which includes burn, smoke and soot damage, as well as knowing that the odor caused by this damage is a problem as well, our crew went right to work. The first step was for them to remove all burnt content and structural materials, documenting the materials that were discarded as well. We then moved on to cleaning and salvaging whatever walls, ceilings, cabinets, floors, and other contents remained. Although smoke and soot removal is a tedious task, the professionals at Super Restoration have the knowledge required to know what cleaning techniques to use for various surfaces and materials, as well as how to handle delicate items and what chemicals to use.

Mitigation efforts take a few days, and as part of these duties we installed ozone generators which help remove odors caused by the fire, and also used what is called thermo-fog techniques, in conjunction with odor killing chemicals, to combat odor from any non-accessible areas.

This is only one example of how Super Restoration has the knowledge and personnel to deal with an emergency situation. To others, it may just be a job. To the people at Super Restoration, it’s more like a way of life.

Super Restoration provides many services. We provide water damage services, such as water extraction, structural drying, and storm response services. We also deal with mold, providing mold remediation as well as mold inspection services. Other services offered by Super Restoration include document restoration, carpet and upholstery cleaning, reconstruction, portable air conditioning, infrared thermal imaging, emergency power, and pack outs, which can move your possessions to our warehouse for storage and restoration.

Aside from the unpleasant smell, residual soot particles can cause serious health problems. Additionally, if left in drywall, chemical reactions with wiring and other metal components may cause damage for years following a fire if immediate steps are not taken to remove this insidious material. Super Restoration will not only eliminate all burned material, but is also equipped to start immediate repairs, a service not offered by many other companies in South Florida.

Although some treasured heirlooms and other irreplaceable mementos can’t be revived, a surprising number of items can be repaired or restored, including smoke and water-damaged documents, books and even micrographic media. Using a number of up-to-date drying methods, many items that were heretofore impossible to retrieve can now be brought back to safe, stable and usable condition. Untreated paperwork will bond together and the subsequent growth of mold will not only destroy information, it will also present health risks. Furthermore, paper becomes brittle from smoke absorption, which will also contaminate the environment with a smoky, smelly residue that can also prove to be extremely unhealthy. Aside from health considerations, the loss of vital documents can destroy a company within months, For these reasons, it is truly imperative that an early call to Super Restoration be made to prevent these calamities while they are still treatable.

It has often been noted that more damage is done by water than fire, and anything from a leaking pipe to a flash flood or hurricane can produce an alarming amount of indoor flooding. Many people will try to remove standing water themselves, and will think the job is done if surfaces look or feel dry. Unfortunately, this is not the case, since any structure will hold ‘hidden’ moisture that must be extracted with professional equipment. Unless every drop of moisture is removed, it will remain to cause structural damage, encourage the growth of mold and otherwise cause damage to valuable contents. That’s why the first people to contact after the firefighters have left is the Super Restoration staff who have the capability to both dry and dehumidify the entire affected area.

Whether you suffer fire, flood or storm damage, Super Restoration Service Company is standing by with the top of the line equipment and expertise you need for complete restoration of your home or business. Our experienced staff will work closely with you to find the most cost-effective plans to restore your home or business to its original condition and to do so as rapidly as possible. Although there are many other remediation companies, most of them handle just one or two aspects of damage mitigation. Super Restoration, however, will handle every phase of recovery, from the initial inspection, through the removal of smoke and soot, restoration of documents and computer contents, thorough drying and dehumidification, and rebuilding damaged construction all the way to the application of the last coat of paint and final cleanup. As a customer, you will be kept in the loop during the entire operation with frequent communication with our highly professional staff providing continuous progress reports. And, when Super Restoration completes your job, we believe you will join our many other highly satisfied clients in saying, “It looks even better than new!”
