Fire and smoke cleanup in Pershing

What fire jobs look like in Pershing

The Pershing area on Detroit's northeast side is a neighborhood of brick bungalows and two-family duplexes on narrow lots, along streets like Cliff where our service office sits.

Kitchen fires, furnace puff-backs and fireplace problems are the common jobs. In duplexes, a fire in one unit almost always sends smoke and water into the other, so both are checked from the first visit.

Because the office is a few streets away, the first visit here is usually quick: board-up, a check of both units and the basement, and a plan for drying and cleaning before the crew leaves. Neighbors on narrow lots often ask us to look at their side walls and windows too, and we do.

Bungalows, duplexes and what they mean after a fire

Homes on Cliff Street include 1941 brick bungalows with wood-burning fireplaces and partly finished basements, alongside two-unit duplex buildings.

In a bungalow, smoke rises into the half-story upstairs and the attic, and firefighting water collects in the basement. In a duplex, we document each unit separately, since owners and tenants usually have different insurers, and clean both units where smoke reached.
