Wildfires and the Damage Done

I know I still remember.

Wildfire season has once again reared it's ugly head. Summer is one of the best times of the year for many Californians, but with it come some inherent issues. Veteran residents of the state are no stranger to the dangers of extreme temperatures and the dry conditions that make up much of the southland. The Holy Fire is far too recent to have been forgotten.

Even if your home is relatively far away from the actual fire, smoke damage can definitely affect your home. Between soft goods like furniture, drapes, and curtains and insulation batts in attics and walls, smoke can wreak havoc in both home and business settings.

People that suffer from asthma and upper respiratory issues already have a decently difficult time during late spring and summer. There are many factors to consider, such as pollen, increases to pollution from traffic, and wind that carries dirt and dust. When you add smoke to the equation, you have a potentially dangerous and uncomfortable situation on your hands.
