What Memphis fire calls look like
In Memphis, kitchen and electrical fires send smoke through open floor plans and into attics and ductwork. We board up, extract firefighting water, clean soot, and treat odor after the residue is gone.
Memphis is a residential area north of Palmetto, near US 41 and I-275. The U.S. Census Bureau's 2018–2022 American Community Survey estimates about 10,923 residents in Memphis. The median year of construction is about 1988, so many homes were built before Florida's post-2002 hurricane building-code updates. Older housing in Memphis often has aging supply lines, water heaters, and roofs that have been through several storms.
What to do and not do
- Do not go back in until the fire department says it is safe.
- Keep the HVAC off until it is inspected.
- Do not use electrical items that got wet or hot.
How fire restoration works
- Secure the building with board-up so it is closed to weather and entry.
- Extract firefighting water and dry the structure so it does not become a mold problem.
- HEPA-vacuum and chemically clean soot from walls, ceilings, and fixtures.
- Remove charred or smoke-saturated materials that cannot be cleaned.
- Treat odor after the residue is gone, with ozone or hydroxyl only in unoccupied spaces.
Know your Memphis property
Median year built: 1988. That matters because older homes often have older wiring and more layers of paint and finish for soot to bond to. Memphis is about 4 miles north of Bradenton. Population: about 10,923 (the Census Bureau's 2018–2022 American Community Survey estimate).
