🔥 The flames may be out, but the damage may not be over.

Smoke and soot can travel far beyond the area affected by a fire, reaching walls, furniture, HVAC systems and spaces that may look untouched.

Understanding what happens after a fire can help you know what to look for and why proper restoration matters.

Read our latest blog to learn why smoke damage can be more serious than it looks. 👇

When a fire occurs, the visible damage is often the first concern. But even after the flames are extinguished, smoke and soot can continue to affect a property.

⚡ A simple electrical safety check can help prevent a serious problem.

Take a moment to check the power bars and outlets around your home or workplace. Avoid plugging too many devices into a single circuit, and watch for warning signs like warm outlets, flickering lights or frequently tripped breakers.

A little prevention can go a long way in reducing electrical and fire risks. 🔌🏠

This month, we’re spotlighting Andrew Goetz, Director of Membership Services at DKI Canada!

For the past three years, Andrew has worked closely with DKI members across the country, supporting everything from onboarding and training to operational challenges and major CAT events.

At the heart of Andrew’s role is something simple: being there for our members.

💬 “I’m most proud of the relationships and trust I have built with our members. I want our members to know that when they call me, I’m going to listen, give them a straight answer and do what I can to help.”

One of Andrew’s favourite parts of DKI is seeing the network come together to support one another, whether during a major CAT event, when a member needs additional support or simply to share knowledge and resources.

Outside of work, Andrew enjoys spending time at the trailer with his family and friends, relaxing around the campfire and catching a NASCAR race. 🏕️🏁

Thank you, Andrew, for everything you do to support our members and the DKI network! 💙
