Fire, smoke and soot always have a devastating impact upon your life. Superior123's first step at a fire scene is to understand your concerns. Our second step is to determine what type of fire has taken place by conducting tests. Behavior of Smoke A fire loss is very complex because of the unique behavior of smoke. It is important to have trained technicians at the loss location. Superior123 knows their smoke!

• Hot smoke migrates to cooler areas and upper levels of a structure.
• Smoke flows through plumbing systems, using holes around pipes to go from floor to floor.
• The type of smoke will greatly affect the restoration process.

Types of Smoke

First step at a fire scene is to calm the fears of those affected. Next, Superior123 tests the smoke to see which of the following types of fire took place.

• Wet Smoke - Low heat, smoldering, pungent odor, sticky, smeary. Smoke webs are more difficult to clean.
• Dry Smoke - Fast burning at high temperatures.
• Protein - Virtually invisible, discolors paints and varnishes. Extreme pungent odor.
• Fuel Oil Soot - Furnace puff backs cause fuel oil soot.
• Other Types - Tear gas, fingerprint powder, and fire extinguisher residue are other types.
