When a fire strikes it can leave you scared, confused and disoriented
There is nothing more devastating than having to deal with the aftermath of a fire that strikes without warning and can destroy a home or business in the blink of an eye.
Unfortunately, fires are a common occurrence here in the Aspen Colorado area with all of the natural forest and mountain terrain.
As beautiful as the ski resorts of the Roaring Fork Valley and the tremendous elevations of the Maroon Peaks may be, they can also lead to danger at times.
When it comes to fire damage flames, smoke and soot are only one part of the picture

Fortunately, for residents and business owners in the Aspen area, there are fire restoration contractors you can consider to help you navigate the stressful process of getting back on your feet after a fire.
At SERVPRO we have a long history of providing thorough, professional fire restoration for homes and commercial properties and we take pride in responding faster to any disaster.
The Real Effects Of Fire
Of course, the destructive power of flames and the extreme heat that they generate are the most obvious effects of fire, but the truth is that this is just where the damage begins.
Everything from furniture and precious belongings to building structures can be damaged and even completely consumed by flames.
At the same time, smoke can cause damage by clinging to many surfaces, including wood, plastic, carpets and fabrics, and causing noxious fumes and unhealthy odors.
Soot can also adhere to a number of surfaces but it can be even more dangerous when it becomes airborne as this can make it a breathing hazard for anyone in the building.
Just a few moments spent in a fire ravaged room or building can leave you exposed to a range of harmful toxins.
As devastating as all of this damage can be, it’s actually only a fraction of the overall problems that you may be faced with in the aftermath of a fire.
One of the biggest hazards is the water used in firefighting efforts, which can not only weaken structures, destroy furniture and rot wood, but also if it is not treated quickly and thoroughly it can lead to a potentially dangerous mold infestation.
