Structural Drying After Fire Suppression

Sprinklers and hose streams can create a large water loss while a building also has soot, debris, electrical and structural hazards.

Technical focus

Map moisture vertically through affected levels and horizontally along cavities and floor systems. Suppression water can migrate far beyond the visible fire footprint.

Coordinate air movement and demolition with particulate control so drying does not distribute soot into cleaner areas.

Use with the larger incident

This guide addresses one component of a fire and smoke loss. Fire & Smoke Intelligence connects it with heat damage, water migration, cleaning, drying and reconstruction sequencing.
