We respond to fire damage emergencies 24-hours a day in Chicago.

A commercial kitchen fire can cause a lot of damage to your business, and you may have some “burning” questions about where to start when it comes to restoration! According to the National Fire Prevention Association, during a five-year national study, fire departments responded to close to 3,500 commercial fires annually. It’s important to keep safety in mind, and to be prepared in the event a fire occurs.

What to do after a commercial fire?

• After a fire in your Bucktown commercial kitchen, make sure that your staff and customers are safe
• Call your insurance company immediately post-disaster to report the incident and start your claim process
• If you are leasing the space, let the owner or property manager know so that they are aware of the severity of damage and possible repair costs 
• Wait for the fire department to give you the all-clear to go inside the building, before assessing the damage, and removing necessary items
• Document everything by taking photos and videos of the damage for your insurance claim
• Be sure to keep all of your receipts to track the extra expenses post-fire
