Highrise Fire

The Loss

A fire started in a luxury high-rise building on the Upper East Side of Manhattan causing injuries to dozens of people and blowing windows out from the 24th floor. Being a residential building, our team was faced with the damage from the loss, but also small children, families, and pets. With over 30 floors and 50 units affected it was crucial to get crews on site and working as quickly and efficiently as possible.

With over 20 occupants of this building already in the emergency room as we arrived on-site, we needed to make sure to get everything in line for remediation very quickly. We were able to get 50 restoration technicians on site so work could start quickly In a high-rise building it is crucial to have common spaces cleaned and safe immediately. Within hours, we were on site extracting water, cleaning the common hallways, elevators and set up in the lobby to make sure tenants had someone to answer their questions.
