12/13/2021 (Permalink)

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. Fire can break out unexpectedly in a kitchen setting, and it happens more often than you might think. According to the National Fire Prevention Association, a national study showed that fire departments responded to close to 3,500 commercial fires annually. 

If you experience a fire in your Nashville commercial kitchen, you can count on the restoration professionals at SERVPRO to help you get back to normal.

WHAT STEPS DO I TAKE TO GET MY COMMERCIAL KITCHEN BACK TO NORMAL AFTER A FIRE?

• The safety of your staff and clientele is your priority if your Nashville commercial kitchen experiences a fire. After calling the fire department, ensure that everyone is present and accounted for and out of the building before you do anything else.
• 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.
• Call fire damage restoration professionals like SERVPRO of North Nashville to come and begin assessing the damage and planning your recovery process. 
• Document everything by taking photos and videos of the damage for your insurance claim.
