Homeowner Carla M. in Franklin, NJ experienced fire damage after an oil fire ignited on the kitchen stove and was mistakenly placed in the sink and doused with water, causing a flare-up. The sudden burst of flames scorched the kitchen ceiling, burned nearby window curtains, and filled the home with thick smoke. PDQ Fire & Water Damage Restoration responded immediately with emergency fire restoration services, beginning with soot removal and air purification. Fire-damaged materials, including smoke-damaged drywall and the melted curtain rod assembly, were removed as part of the Franklin fire damage cleanup. HEPA-filtered air scrubbers and hydroxyl generators were used throughout the kitchen and nearby rooms to eliminate smoke odor and airborne particulates.

The kitchen fire in Franklin, NJ also required cleaning of smoke-stained cabinetry, sealed surfaces, and ductwork to prevent cross-contamination. Thermal fogging and chemical sponges were used to remove soot residue from ceilings and walls. This kitchen fire damage was covered by the homeowner’s insurance, which included both cleanup and repairs. Smoke odor removal and fire restoration procedures were carefully documented to ensure proper claims processing. This Franklin fire damage incident serves as a reminder of how quickly oil fires can escalate, and how improper extinguishing methods can worsen the damage in residential kitchens.
