SERVPRO of Farmingdale/Massapequa salutes all of our volunteer fire fighters. We appreciate the dedication and personal sacrifice  that each and everyone of our brave men and women endure each and every day. 

You might not be able to prevent a fire from starting but you can help to evacuate you home if one does. Install smoke and Co2 alarms and test them regularly. Always be prepared.

Please remember to check and test your smoke and Co2 detectors. The homeowners in this house were unaware of the fire that was smoldering in there basement. There were no functioning smoke alarms to be found.

Sometimes in a fire the damage isn't always obvious. In this case the smoke traveled from the basement behind the walls causing smoke damage to the 1st and 2nd floor. The walls needed to be removed to access the framing.

An electrical fire caused major framing damage to this Massapequa Park basement. Heavy soot damage was present throughout the rest of the home. Thankfully no one was injured in this early morning fire.

Fire can strike when you least expect it. Always have an escape plan for you and your family. Don't stop to collect valuables. Just get out and all meet at a predetermined spot.
