Elite Level Fire Damage Restoration in Denton, TX

Fire damage to your home is one of the most traumatizing, frightening tragedies a person can experience. This is especially true in apartment buildings and multifamily homes, where dozens if not hundreds of families are affected by fire and smoke damage. When a fire rips through an apartment building, the property damage can be catastrophic. But the damage caused by fires doesn't end once the flames have been extinguished. Victims are left wondering what happens next now that their belongings are destroyed. When will they have a roof over their again?

In these circumstances, prompt, purpose-driven fire damage restoration is key to reducing victims' financial and emotional strain.

Fire Damage Restoration for Apartment Buildings in Denton, TX

Owners and managers of apartment complexes know that the safety of their tenants is a major responsibility. Unfortunately, nobody can completely control when apartment fires occur. Fires in apartments and multifamily buildings may start small, but they spread quickly, often destroying several living spaces. These frightening fires destroy prized heirlooms, important documents, and can even be fatal. However, the work is only beginning once the fire is put out and lives are saved.

In the aftermath of a disaster, figuring out the next steps is hard. During this difficult time, it's important to be prepared. As a property manager or owner, having a fire damage restoration company on your checklist of resources is crucial.

Unlike residential fires, apartment and multifamily building fires add several more layers of complexity and stress. In these situations, you deserve a restoration partner that you can trust without question, and that company is Atlas National Renovations.

Because every property is different, each fire restoration project for apartment buildings is too. However, every fire disaster will have a similar process and will often include:

Contact ANS

Your fire restoration process begins when you call our headquarters. Our specialist will ask you a series of questions about the fire event that occurred. That way, we can arrive on-site with the proper resources and equipment.

Fire Damage Assessment
and Inspection

Our fire damage restoration team will carefully inspect the entirety of your apartment complex, from building to building and room to room. We do so to determine the extent of your apartment's fire, smoke, and soot damage. This step is crucial to developing a comprehensive restoration plan.

Board-Up Services

First responders like firefighters must break windows and cut holes in roofs to slow fire growth and save lives. Once the fire is out, our team can get to work, boarding up holes and constructing temporary fencing around the property.

Water Removal

If there is water damage associated with your apartment fire, we'll remove most of the water immediately. From there, we use air movers and dehumidifiers to help complete the drying process.

Smoke and Soot Removal

Within minutes of a fire, walls, electronics, and other surfaces are covered in soot. Smoke and ash continue to cause damage to every inch of your apartment building. That's why ANS uses specialized equipment to remediate smoke damage and remove odors. This process is often labor-intensive and can take time, especially for large fire damage restoration needs.

Cleaning and Sanitizing

Using a variety of restoration and cleaning techniques, our team will help clean restorable items and sanitize units for safety.

Restoration

Getting your apartment buildings to their pre-fire conditions is our ultimate goal. Depending on the size and scope of the fire restoration job, minor repairs like painting, drywall replacement, and new carpet installation might be needed. You might also need major structural renovations like re-siding, re-roofing, new window installation, floor replacement, and more.

Tips for Preventing Apartment Fires

If you're a property manager or own multifamily residential buildings, the thought of an apartment fire is terrifying. What starts as a small fire can quickly turn into a catastrophic event, with your entire complex up in flames. However, one of the best ways of preventing these fires is to know more about them.

Share these tips with tenants to help prevent deadly apartment fires:

Turn Off Heat Sources

Turn Off Heat Sources

Data shows that a large number of apartment fires begin with cooking. Often, these fires are caused by the ignition of common items like rags, curtains, wallpapers, and bags. Encourage tenants to keep their kitchens and cooking areas clear of combustibles. Never leave a stove unattended for long, and don't leave burners on by themselves. Unintentional mishaps like leaving heat sources on are common causes of fires that can be prevented with a little forethought.

Electrical Safety

Electrical Safety

Like heat sources, electrical malfunctions are also common causes of fires in apartment complexes. It's hard to prevent all electrical malfunctions, but you can tell tenants to avoid bad habits. Tips include never using extension cords as permanent solutions and never using a cable if the third prong is missing.

Appliance Safety

Appliance Safety

Appliances are a part of everyone's lives. They're also standard equipment in most apartment units. But if tenants don't take proper precautions, these useful tools can spark deadly fires.

Tips for Preventing Apartment Fires

No matter how large or small, fires are nightmare scenarios for entrepreneurs with commercial properties. Fire damage can completely ruin storefronts and offices, leaving charred remains and burned-up files before firefighters arrive. To make matters worse, soot and smoke damage ruin your businesses' furniture, HVAC system, carpet, walls, and windows.

To eliminate health hazards and restore your business to its pre-fire condition, you need to bring in a team of professionals with years of experience in fire damage remediation. At ANR, we use commercial-grade equipment and cutting-edge tools to clean up the aftermath of your fire and rebuild your property. That way, you can get back to running your business and providing for your family.

Thursday morning fire crews in Denton County hustled to stop a grass fire along U.S. Highway 380 and Jackson Road from spreading to nearby structures.

The call came in around 10 a.m. for what the Texas A&M Forest Service is calling the 'Big Sky Fire.' Officials said Thursday afternoon that more than 70 acres had burned and was more than 75% contained.

Crews from the Ponder and Krum fire departments could be seen using brush trucks and hoses to put out flames that were fanned by winds.

The concern increased when the fire began to spread toward the Big Sky Estates neighborhood, which is filled with newly built homes.

Residents in Denton County evacuate as grass fire threatens homes

This extreme heat paired with low humidity and high winds means our fire threat remains high across much of the state. Those conditions helped fuel a blaze that kept crews in Denton County busy while those who lived nearby packed bags just in case.

"My wife is calling me and saying, 'There's a wildfire right at the end of the street,' I said, 'Alright, I'm on my way home," said Eric Williams, who was outside with other neighbors watching fire crews fight the flames.

“I’ve been looking at smoke. I drove in from the highway. It's all the way down to the next street over here, this whole field was scorched there's nothing,” said Williams.

There was talk about possible evacuations, but crews were able to form a perimeter to protect the homes.

"I was a little nervous at first, but when I saw them out here actually cutting a line before the fire got too far, I felt a little better," said Williams. He and his wife, who are veterans, had all the essentials ready to go with their kids, just in case.

"I've been kind of watching for the last couple hours to see if it would cross the road," said Rebekah Sanchez, whose home backs up to the road separating the fire. "Staying close so I can get the dogs out if I needed to; everyone else is at work, so watching and seeing what needs to happen."

Fire crews were able to stop the spread and focused on hot spots.

"Luckily enough, the winds were keeping it from going to the south, southwest, so we were able to protect this very well," said Chief Brad Sebastian, the Denton County Fire Marshal.

He said they had asked for aerial help from the forest service, but by the time they got there, the ground crews were able to get it under control.

It's under investigation as to how the fire started, but he believes it was possibly near the highway.

"Typically we see this, cars going down the roadway dragging chains, throwing out cigarette butts, so its really important that people service their vehicles, check their tires don’t drag chains," said Sebastian who continues to be on alert considering the dry and hot weather. "When the winds pick up and the humidity drops that becomes the biggest challenge that fuels the fire.”

He said high grass in the Big Sky Trail area is what also caused the fire to spread quickly, but after a couple of hours, crews were able to get a handle on it.

As of Friday afternoon, the fire is estimated to be 72 acres and 95% contained.

DENTON COUNTY, Texas — Officials are working to put out a brush fire near the county line between Denton and Wise counties. No homes or buildings have burned.

The Big Sky Fire is reported near U.S. Highway 380 and Jackson Road in Stony. As of Friday afternoon, the fire was estimated to be 72 acres and 95% contained, according to the Texas A&M Forest Service.

The agency said bulldozers have cut a line around the brush fire, removing grass and other fuels that could reignite. Firefighters are working to "widen and improve that line," a spokesperson tweeted.

"Basically, they're going to cut a road," Denton County Fire Marshall Brad Sebastian said. "They'll do a perimeter around the fire, that way it's controlled no matter what direction the wind blows."

Sebastian said investigators are still trying to determine how the fire started, though it appears to have sparked near U.S. Highway 380. Carelessness is likely to blame, he said.

"Someone probably dragging a chain, throwing out a cigarette butt, or something car-related," he said. "Any of those things can definitely ignite a fire right now."

Big Sky Estates residents watched from their windows as the fire consumed the field across the street from their houses Thursday. The development is new, meaning most neighbors have only lived in their homes for a few months.

"It's really rattling," said Paige Spehar, a first-time homeowner who moved to the neighborhood this spring. "It makes you appreciate all of the things in your life that you have, because they could not be there in a matter of seconds."

A Red Flag Warning has been issued for areas along and west of I-35 until at least 1 a.m. on Friday, Aug. 4. This means any fires could spread very quickly if they get started. It is very hot, dry and breezy in these areas, and drought conditions continue to worsen.

Because of drought and dry conditions, almost all counties along and west of I-35W are under burn bans with more burn bans continuing to be added each day in other parts of North Texas.

Rather than fireworks, Denton’s free July Jubilee celebration on Monday will feature the city’s first drone show on the Square. The drone show is sponsored by the Denton Noon Kiwanis Club, which has hosted the city’s fireworks show as a fundraiser in previous years.

Because there are some new locations, new rules and, well, new drones to consider, we put together a guide to making sure you get to see the show in action from a good vantage point.

Denton’s July Jubilee Festival takes place Monday, July 3, from 6 to 10:30 p.m.

While there will be family-friendly activities like inflatables, rock climbing, face painting, games and photo opportunities, the evening will also host a hot dog-eating contest and live music from Brave Combo and Redline Drift — all before the drones take flight for two shows, one at 9:30 p.m. and one at 10:30 p.m.

The city of Denton said each drone show should last about 15 minutes.

Frisco-based Sky Elements’ drones will fly above the Courthouse on the Square lawn. City officials said the show will be visible for 3 miles from the Square, but the best vantage point will be from the courthouse lawn. The city’s July Jubilee webpage says the show will be best viewed “from the northeast corner of the courthouse lawn facing Recycled Books” and recommends referring to the event map

Depending on where they’re located, viewers might experience a slightly distorted or backward view of the images created by the drones.

Visitors can bring coolers, as well as alcohol, to the courthouse lawn. Responsible consumption of alcohol is permitted on the event grounds. The Denton Noon Kiwanis Club will also be selling beer and water from their booth on Hickory Street in front of The Chestnut Tree to benefit the Kiwanis Club Children’s Clinic.

For other food and drink options, there will be food trucks available, as well as the restaurants around the Square.

Parking will be available in lots at the corner of Oakland and Oak streets, as well as Industrial and Hickory streets. The North Central Texas College parking garage on East Sycamore Street will also be free to the public on Monday.

Designated ADA parking will be located at the intersection of McKinney and Bolivar streets.

For maps of downtown public parking, visit https://bit.ly/Downtown-Parking.

University of North Texas Lots 54 and 55 on West Sycamore Street will be free to the public on July 3 with complimentary Denton County Transportation Authority shuttle services.

Shuttles will loop continuously in 15-minute intervals between UNT and Cedar Street from 5 to 10 p.m. and stage return-only services at 10:30 p.m. until the event has cleared.

Festivalgoers are welcome to park in DCTA’s MedPark Station parking lot at 3220 MedPark Drive and take advantage of the A-train’s regularly scheduled “free fare” zone between MedPark and the Downtown Denton Transit Station on East Hickory Street. Between 10 p.m. and midnight, the A-train will extend the “free fare” zone in 30-minute intervals.

The evening’s full schedule is as follows:

Other activities include rock climbing, games, inflatable bounce houses, face painting and photo opportunities.

Why doesn’t Denton have a Trader Joe’s or H-E-B?

Denton residents have longed for a wider selection of grocery stores in the area for years. Among the most popular requests have been for boutique grocers such as Trader Joe’s — locals even started an online petition in the hopes of swaying the grocer to set up shop in Denton — and popular grocer H-E-B.

A few factors go into what makes a grocer decide to build a store in a new city or expand into a new market entirely. Among the most common are population, market saturation and median area incomes, which are lower in Denton than in other areas of North Texas, due in part to the university population.

That matters, according to Edward Fox, who directs the JCPenney Center for Retail Excellence at Southern Methodist University’s Cox School of Business. But other factors — like a population’s preference for natural and organic produce, which tends to be higher among more educated populations like Denton’s — can help offset low incomes for some boutique grocers.

H-E-B has owned land at the corner of West University Drive and Bonnie Brae Street since 2015, but despite regular check-ins by Denton Record-Chronicle staff, the grocer hasn’t announced plans to build a store there anytime soon.

Something else grocers consider is logistics. If they have a distribution center nearby, it’s easier to supply several stores in an area — think Denton’s three Krogers and Walmarts — versus expanding into new territory. It also allows stores to advertise in a more cost-efficient way through mailers and newspaper inserts versus advertising for just one store in a city, Fox points out.

“To put stores in Denton may have made a lot of sense for Kroger but less for H-E-B because H-E-B’s established further south, so entering the Denton market geographically is a stretch for them and the logistics of getting product there is a little harder,” Fox said. “It all kind of depends where they are — they don’t look at individual markets in isolation, it’s all relative to what they already have and where they already are.”

H-E-B in particular is known for its efficient logistics and distribution, so those considerations matter to the retailer.

That’s not to say Denton will never get a Trader Joe’s or H-E-B — the latter has already begun dipping its toes in the North Texas market with the recently opened Plano and Frisco stores, and plans for Alliance and McKinney. But H-E-B tends to take a longer view when it comes to expansion, Fox notes, which might prompt it to buy land in many areas to have the option to build.

“We often buy real estate in various parts of the state for future needs,” H-E-B spokesperson Mabrie Jackson told the Record-Chronicle in 2021. “H-E-B is a planful company. Bringing new formats and stores to new markets requires time and attention in order to ensure we serve our new customers well.”

Whether future openings in those areas are already mapped out or not, H-E-B, Trader Joe’s and just about any other grocer you can think of can change course as an area evolves. With Denton being home to a rapidly growing population, it’s inevitable that more grocery and retail options will continue to come into the area.

What those options will be and when, Denton residents will have to wait and see.

“As a company, we’re [H-E-B is] committed to serving all of North Texas, so hopefully we’ll have some news for Dentonites one day — these things just take time,” Jackson said.
