Fire Damage Can Happen Anywhere — Even in the Garage
Fires don’t just start in kitchens or living rooms — they can erupt unexpectedly in garages, where flammable materials, electrical systems, and stored vehicles pose high risks. At PuroClean of Green Bay, we’ve seen firsthand how quickly a small spark can lead to major destruction.
In a recent garage fire, the damage extended beyond the vehicle that caught fire. Soot and smoke coated every surface. Bicycles, tools, walls, and other belongings were either destroyed or heavily contaminated. The structure itself had to be assessed for stability due to intense heat exposure. The scene was overwhelming — but it was also the start of our restoration work.
The image above shows the aftermath: a charred vehicle, scorched belongings, and soot covering the entire garage interior. But with the right approach, even a scene like this can be cleaned, restored, and made safe again.
In this case, the fire started from a faulty battery pack that was charging overnight. Flames quickly spread to the vehicle and surrounding storage shelves before the homeowner could react. Firefighters arrived within minutes, containing the blaze before it could reach the main structure — but the garage was left in critical condition. The homeowner was devastated, believing everything inside was lost. We reassured them that with proper fire damage restoration, much of the space and even some contents could be saved.
How Our Fire Damage Restoration Process Works
Our trained and IICRC-certified technicians follow a comprehensive restoration process tailored to each fire-damaged property:
- Emergency Assessment & Safety Check
We evaluate structural integrity and identify all damage. - Debris Removal & Content Sorting
We carefully remove debris, separate salvageable items, and dispose of hazards. - Soot, Smoke & Odor Removal
Advanced tools like HEPA vacuums and air scrubbers remove fine particles and stubborn smoke odors. - Surface & Structural Cleaning
We deep clean ceilings, walls, floors, and even inside HVAC systems if needed. - Reconstruction
If necessary, we coordinate or provide reconstruction services to bring the space back to pre-loss condition.
Every step of our fire damage restoration process is guided by safety and precision. In this particular case, our team also performed thermal imaging to detect any lingering heat or hidden fire damage behind the walls. We used a combination of chemical sponges, dry-ice blasting, and ozone treatment to eliminate odors and clean soot without damaging sensitive materials. The final result was a garage ready for safe rebuilding — and a homeowner who felt hopeful again.
Why Fast Action Is Critical After a Fire
Time matters. As FEMA emphasizes, fire damage continues long after the flames are gone. Soot can permanently stain surfaces, corrode electronics, and cause respiratory issues. Odors can settle into fabrics, insulation, and drywall. Waiting too long can double restoration costs and compromise safety.
