Why Westminster homes take this damage
Kitchen fires

Larger newer homes carry heavier electrical demand that can ignite in mechanical and furnace rooms.What fire restoration actually involves
Board-up & utility shutoff
Once the fire department releases the structure, the company secures it — boarding openings and tarping the roof — and confirms utilities are safely off. This matters even more here, since an open roof during a spring snowstorm invites a second wave of water and ice damage.
Suppression-water extraction & drying
The water used to fight the fire runs downhill into the basement and is extracted there before it drives mold, even in dry Front Range air.
Soot & smoke cleaning
Surfaces, contents and the furnace/duct system are cleaned by residue type — dry, wet, protein soot or drifting wildfire particulate each need a different method.
Deodorization & rebuild
Odor is neutralized at the source with thermal fog, hydroxyl or ozone, then damaged materials are rebuilt.
