Toaster fire?

Recently, while an employee was taking a break and making toast in the office breakroom, the toaster’s heating coils overheated and ignited a small fire inside. The fire started as a small glow, unnoticed in the room’s bright fluorescent lighting. Within minutes flames engulfed the interior of the toaster, and the toaster started emitting bilious clouds of smoke. Soon the paper towel caught fire and the smoke alarm sounded. Fire extinguishers were used to contain the fire, but the damage was done. One wall was covered in smoke and soot and the entire building smelled of smoke and burnt toast!

Our office manager called the Springfield and East Lane County team and they arrived quickly and immediately began the cleanup and restoration process. They cleaned the entire breakroom, replaced the damaged wall, and repainted. They set up smoke odor removal equipment in the building, and now you would never know we had a fire in our breakroom or that once our offices smelled like burnt toast! Thank you!
