Kitchen Fire in Southwest Columbus Area

There are many fires that start in the kitchen from various reasons. The fire in this kitchen affected the entire home. During the restoration of this home the customer asked for additional remodeling work. SERVPRO removed the wall between the living room area and kitchen and built this island. Our customer loves the open floor plan this created.

The American Red Cross has these 10 steps to avoid a cooking fire:
