North Durham Apartment Fire Video

Fires are so often disasters that leave nothing but trauma and destruction in their paths. While extinguishing efforts are fierce and thorough, massive structure fires can rage out of control of even the most skilled of firefighting teams. In many cases like fires occurring in an apartment building, the structures themselves would often be deemed a loss, regardless of the number of families that might have once called the building their home. Without the combined efforts of both the local firefighters and the Durham restoration companies, this massive apartment fire might have ended up the same way, displacing countless families permanently.

While the fire was not an easy one to put out, crews worked quickly to suppress the flames as best as they could. Mass evacuations of the building and neighboring properties left many families to worry they would no longer have a home. Once the fire was out, the damage was assessed by insurance companies and our SERVPRO professionals to see what could be done to restore the damages and bring the Durham building back to preloss conditions.

Working day in and day out, our experienced team showed the entire community that our slogan “Like it never even happened.” is not just a catchy tagline for us. Our technicians tirelessly labored to bring each damaged portion of the multi-story structure back to life when other organizations might have cut their losses and worked on finding new homes and apartments for the hundreds of people that got evacuated from the building.

Our fire restoration protocols took precedent in the process, and our crews worked to restore what could be saved. The areas that were too damaged to be cleaned and restored, our SERVPRO team removed with controlled demolition efforts to allow contractors a clean space to begin their work on reconstructing the structural components and beautiful accents of the entire building.

Though there were lots of things that became lost to the fire, the tireless efforts of our team will ensure that at the very least, the affected families would have an entirely restored apartment they can once again call home.
