The fires burned 6,026 acres of land, destroying 1,084 buildings and affecting thousands of other properties. At least six people were injured, and one was reported missing. After such a disaster, enormous efforts are required to bring properties and lives back to normal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">PuroClean sends restoration experts to help with the Boulder County fires restoration efforts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At PuroClean of Elk Grove Village\/Schaumburg, we regularly travel across the United States to help communities return to normal after significant events like these.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We sent two different fire damage restoration crews to Colorado to help families and property owners affected by the Boulder County fires. On January 8, we sent one of our project managers, Mitch McKnight, with five crew members for assessing the damage at multiple affected properties.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-5 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"18886\" src=\"https:\/\/www.puroclean.com\/wood-dale-il-puroclean-disaster-services\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/209\/2022\/03\/fire-damage-cleanup-boulder-county-1-2.jpg\" alt=\"fire damage cleanup boulder county\" class=\"wp-image-18886\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"450\" height=\"600\" data-id=\"18887\" src=\"https:\/\/www.puroclean.com\/wood-dale-il-puroclean-disaster-services\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/844\/2022\/03\/fire-damage-cleanup-boulder-county-1-3.jpg\" alt=\"fire damage cleanup boulder county\" class=\"wp-image-18887\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.puroclean.com\/wood-dale-il-puroclean-disaster-services\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/844\/2022\/03\/fire-damage-cleanup-boulder-county-1-3.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.puroclean.com\/wood-dale-il-puroclean-disaster-services\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/844\/2022\/03\/fire-damage-cleanup-boulder-county-1-3-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"18888\" src=\"https:\/\/www.puroclean.com\/wood-dale-il-puroclean-disaster-services\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/209\/2022\/03\/fire-damage-cleanup-boulder-county-1-4.jpg\" alt=\"fire damage cleanup boulder county\" class=\"wp-image-18888\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"18889\" src=\"https:\/\/www.puroclean.com\/wood-dale-il-puroclean-disaster-services\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/209\/2022\/03\/fire-damage-cleanup-boulder-county-1-5.jpg\" alt=\"fire damage cleanup boulder county\" class=\"wp-image-18889\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"18890\" src=\"https:\/\/www.puroclean.com\/wood-dale-il-puroclean-disaster-services\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/209\/2022\/03\/fire-damage-cleanup-boulder-county-1-6.jpg\" alt=\"fire damage cleanup boulder county\" class=\"wp-image-18890\" \/><\/figure>\n<figcaption class=\"blocks-gallery-caption\"><em>Our team restored properties affected by soot and water, and made the most of it!

He and his crew successfully completed four restoration jobs while he was there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once Mitch returned, we sent another of our excellent project managers, Arnold Donato.
