Fire damage refers to the destruction caused by flames, heat, and smoke during a fire incident. This damage can affect buildings, personal belongings, and the environment. Common effects include charred structures, melted materials, and soot deposits, which can lead to further deterioration if not addressed promptly. In addition to physical destruction, fire damage can also pose health risks due to toxic smoke inhalation and the release of harmful chemicals. Restoration efforts often involve cleaning, repairing, and replacing damaged items, as well as ensuring safety measures are in place to prevent future incidents.
