Here is an example of a kitchen fire caught quickly.
These homeowners were only in their newly built home a few months before their cooking grease reached a combustible temperature one evening. It’s been 6 months since the fire. While the cleanup and odor removal only took a few days, the replacement materials have been delayed several times. They hope to have it all back in place by Thanksgiving, but mostly, this family is thankful for their lives. It could have been so much worse.
