After a fire in Page Park: board-up, soot, and odor

How fires start in Page Park homes

In Page Park, 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.

Page Park is a small neighborhood in south Fort Myers next to Page Field, the city's general aviation airport. The U.S. Census Bureau's 2018–2022 American Community Survey estimates about 856 residents in Page Park. The median year of construction is about 1967, so a large share of the housing stock predates modern Florida Building Code wind and water standards. Older housing in Page Park often has aging supply lines, water heaters, and roofs that have been through several storms.

Before we arrive

• Keep the HVAC off until it is inspected.
• Stay away from outlets and appliances near the fire or the water.
• Keep soot off your skin and out of your car.

From board-up to odor treatment

1. Secure the building with board-up so it is closed to weather and entry.
2. Pull out the water from the hoses and dry walls, floors, and insulation.
3. HEPA-vacuum and chemically clean soot from walls, ceilings, and fixtures.
4. Take out burned or heavily smoked materials that will keep smelling.
5. Treat odor after the residue is gone, with ozone or hydroxyl only in unoccupied spaces.
