AIR QUALITY
There is a lot going on right now in Los Angeles so it’s important to remember that the situation has not been stabilized. If we are not in the direct line of fire we can let our guard down, but embers, fire and smoke move rapidly, and evacuation orders can come fast and furious and there is often little time to react.
SMOKE DAMAGE OR LINGERING SMOKE ORDER
Removing smoke damage is important and depends on the severity of the damage or fumes. It’s crucial to remember that when a fire burns through communities, it doesn’t just consume vegetation; homes, cars, businesses, and various hazardous materials are also burned. Toxic substances like lead, asbestos, dioxins from burned plastics, and heavy metals such as copper, lithium, nickel, and cobalt from cars or EVs can become airborne. This is not meant to alarm you but to encourage sensible precautions when re-entering your home.
