Fires from Cooking

1. Protein fires generally leave little to no visible residue which can be confusing to homeowners
2. Protein fires create a significantly more repugnant smell than most other fires
3. The nature of the burn causes the odor to permeate structure and furniture even more than other fires and hold on to porous materials with a stronger bond
4. Therefore, protein fires require extremely thorough cleaning to remove the odor
5. Sometimes a protein fire will require a sealing agent or even repainting to completely eradicate the odor
6. A protein fire may require multiple attempts and different methods to achieve customer satisfaction from the homeowner
