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 long-term issues if not properly addressed. 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 that the affected area is safe for occupancy again. Proper assessment and remediation are crucial for recovery.
