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?

Fire Damage Restoration for Apartment Buildings in Murphy, 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.

Our Fire Damage Restoration Process
It's imperative to have someone with knowledge and experience on your side during a fire crisis.
When you call ANS, our fire restoration experts can help walk you through the steps you need to take once a fire occurs. This allows us to quickly gain control of the restoration project on your behalf. Once we have inspected your property, we'll provide a detailed report and scope of work for your fire damage restoration project.
ANS repairs all property damage caused by soot, smoke, and fire. Our IICRC-certified fire restoration teams construct the best plan to quickly get your building back to its pre-loss condition.
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
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
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
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.
Share these tips with tenants to help prevent deadly apartment fires:
Remove Smoke and Fire Damage
One of the most common causes of large commercial loss stems from smoke and fire damage. Of course, these disasters cause injuries and fatalities. But they also generate tremendous amounts of damage, rot, mold, and harm to structures. Not to mention the devastation that fire damage has to the appearance and livability of the facility. Fire damage restoration companies restore - and also prevent - the root cause of the fire. Electrical outlets, wires, and other fire-prone items will all be addressed to prevent a subsequent disaster.
Highly Skilled
The best fire damage restoration professionals are highly-trained, exceptionally skilled, and properly equipped to deal with every aspect of a commercial fire. From handling major renovations to taking care of the lingering effects of smoke damage, pro fire restoration companies take care of it for you. Hiring ANR means you'll be working with technicians who have the knowledge, tools, and materials to get the job done right the first time.
Insurance Claims
When you start the claim process with your businesses' insurance company, they'll ask whether you've hired a fire damage restoration company. That's because companies like Atlas prevent further damage from occurring and calculate an estimate of your total loss. You can submit this estimate to your insurance company, which may then provide you with resources to complete your company's disaster recovery mt-md-1

MURPHY, Texas — Editor's note: A previous version of this story said the boil water notice was issued due to E.coli being present in the water, as was stated in the press release headline sent out by the city. This story has been updated to reflect updates from city officials.
The city of Murphy rescinded its boil water notice Monday after distribution system pressures dropped over the weekend.

City officials told WFAA tests are being done, and they hope to have finished results by midday Sunday.
By then, the city issued an updated saying one of the 11 test sites detected bacteria in the water.

Chevron (CVX) Division and JERA Enter Into MOU for CCS Project

Chevron Corporation (CVX - Free Report) , a major oil company, recently announced that its division Chevron New Energies and JERA, a Japanese energy major, have come together and signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU). This MOU establishes a framework for their collaboration on carbon capture and storage (CCS) projects in Australia and the United States.
This Memorandum also reinforces the collaboration between the firms in the lower carbon sector, post the November 2022 announcement of their partnership on the prospective co-development of lower carbon fuel in Australia and the investigation of liquid organic hydrogen carriers (LOHC) in the United States.
According to Chris Powers, Vice President of Carbon Capture, Utilization and Storage at Chevron, the company has a long-standing liquid natural gas (LNG) partnership with JERA that continues to advance with the purpose of providing clients with reliable, economical and ever-cleaner solutions. Chevron is currently focused on building CCS projects all over the world, using its expertise and capability in the subsurface — something that is not possible without long-term partnership with JERA.
The U.S. energy giant claims that this MOU has the potential to strengthen the significant LNG partnership that Chevron and JERA already share. It further exemplifies the companies’ shared commitment to advance low-carbon technologies.
Currently, Chevron carries a Zack Rank #3 (Hold).
You can see the complete list of today’s Zacks #1Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.
Some better-ranked stocks for investors interested in the energy space include CVR Energy (CVI - Free Report) and Valero Energy Corporation (VLO - Free Report) both sporting a Zacks Rank #1 and Murphy USA Inc. (MUSA - Free Report) carrying a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy).
CVR Energy, a diversified holding company with its main office in Sugar Land, TX, is an independent refiner and marketer of high value transportation fuels. Over the past seven days, CVI has seen an upward revision in earnings estimates for 2023 and 2024.
Valero Energy, a TX-based company, is one of the largest independent refiners and marketers of petroleum products in the US. With 15 refineries spread across Canada, the United States and the United Kingdom, it has a daily refining capacity of 3.1 million barrels. Over the past 30 days, VLO has seen an upward revision in earnings estimates for 2023 and 2024.
Murphy USA operates stations close to Walmart supercenters and sells low-cost, high-volume fuel. This helps the company to get a lot more business than its competitors. Another significant competitive advantage for the firm is its access to product distribution centers and pipelines, which helps control costs in the intensely competitive retail sector. Over the past 30 days, MUSA has witnessed an upward revision in earnings estimates for 2024.
4 Oil Stocks with Massive Upsides
Global demand for oil is through the roof... and oil producers are struggling to keep up. So even though oil prices are well off their recent highs, you can expect big profits from the companies that supply the world with "black gold."

Area residents looking for some yuletide cheer, and perhaps some shopping, will have several opportunities to get in the spirit.
The city of Murphy will hold its annual Christmas in the Park celebration, from 5:30 to 8 p.m. Thursday, Dec. 1, at the Murphy Municipal Complex, located at 206 N. Murphy Road.
The event is free to the public and will feature various fun family activities, including a sidewalk parade and Christmas tree lighting.
The mini parade’s theme is Winter Wonderland featuring walkers, golf carts, ATVs, wagons and bicycles. The parade begins at the fire department and winds its way through the Municipal Complex and ends at City Hall.
The community Christmas tree lighting ceremony is set for 5:45 p.m., immediately after the parade wraps up.
There will also be crafts and games for children, food vendors and marshmallow toasting for everyone to enjoy.
Children are encouraged to drop off their letters to Santa at the event. Simply print out the letter in advance from the city website, murphytx.org.
At the event, several local entertainment groups will perform and if pictures with Santa is on your agenda, the “Big Guy” will be there from 6-8 p.m. for photos at the Municipal Complex.
Just a few days later, starting Monday Dec. 5, Santa Claus will join Murphy Fire-Rescue to tour the city atop a fire engine.
The Murphy tradition of Santa taking a city-wide tour will commence Monday, Dec. 5 every evening except for Sundays from 6:30 – 8:30 p.m., and if there is an emergency.
According to Fire Chief Del Albright, the only exceptions to the tour will be neighborhoods with short cul-de-sacs. In the event of inclement weather or an emergency, the ride for that evening will be either postponed or canceled.
Families should be on the lookout for Santa to see when he’ll visit various neighborhoods by checking out his interactive map at murphytx.org/480/santas-ride.
Because Santa will be secured to the fire engine, he will not be able to disembark to interact with anyone. To complete the city tour within the timeframe, the engine will not stop for any length of time.
In addition, firefighters, members of their family and city councilmembers will be tossing wrapped candy from the back of the fire truck. As a precaution, officials ask that parents accompany small children and watch them as Santa makes his way through the neighborhood.
The fire engine will have all the brightly colored emergency lights ablaze and sound its siren, all to alert residents of Santa’s presence.
For those who want to support a local nonprofit for adults with special needs, Coventry Reserve will host its annual Christmas Open House and Pottery Sale Friday Dec. 2 from 5-9 p.m., and Dec. 3 from 10 a.m.-3 p.m. Holiday shoppers can buy unique, one-of-a-kind pottery made by the students and several other items at the facility located at 2004 Parker Road in St. Paul.
The shopping continues at the Wylie Arts Festival Saturday, Dec. 3, at the Cross Church Event Center, located at 200 N. Ballard Avenue in Wylie. The event will be from 9 a.m. – 4 p.m. and will feature multiple local artisans and vendors, some set up inside the church and some outside. There will be handmade crafts, fine art and unique items for sale. The festival includes food, live music and activities for children as well.
First Baptist Church in Wylie will once again sponsor the annual Festival of Lights Christmas Parade, set for 6 p.m. Sunday, Dec. 4 on Ballard Avenue. The annual Tree Lighting Ceremony will be held in Olde City Park, 112 S. Ballard Ave, after the parade. According to information from the city, the tree lighting event will include songs of the season from the Wylie High School’s Tempo choir.

BENTONVILLE, Ark.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Santa’s sleigh may not be the only thing seen flying in the skies of Texas. Walmart’s drone delivery service is now available for select customers in the Dallas-area.

This marks the first time customers in Texas can take advantage of Walmart’s drone delivery, following the retailer’s earlier announcement of plans to expand its DroneUp network to reach four million additional households across 6 states, including Texas. From last minute meal solutions to a package of Christmas cookies, Walmart has successfully executed thousands of same-day drone deliveries to date.
“Drone delivery makes it possible for our customers to shop those last-minute or forgotten items with ease, in a package that’s frankly really cool. Being on the forefront of that innovation at Walmart is something we’re proud of,” said Vik Gopalakrishnan, vice president, innovation & automation, Walmart U.S. “It may seem like a futuristic option, but it’s giving our customers what they’ve always wanted, and that’s time back to focus on what is most important to them.”
Here's how it works:
Customers living within a mile of a participating store can place orders through www.droneupdelivery.com between the hours of 8:00 a.m. - 8:00 p.m. local time. Drones can deliver more than 10,000 eligible Walmart items up to ten pounds, including fragile items like eggs, in as little as 30 minutes. There are no order minimums and the delivery fee is just $3.99. With use of promo code FreeDeliveryTX, customers using drone delivery for the first time will have the delivery fee waived. Once the items are packaged and loaded into the drone, the order is then delivered using a cable that gently lowers the package into the customer’s yard.
Drone delivery is now offered from these stores in Texas:
To celebrate, Walmart and DroneUp joined Piedmont G.L.O.B.A.L. Academy in Southern Dallas this morning to host a hands-on drone flight and delivery demo alongside simulated activities for Advanced via Individual Determination (AVID) students. Walmart presented the school with a donation of $5,000 and graphing calculators for the classroom.
“We are thankful to Walmart and DroneUp for investing in our scholars and providing an enlightening experience,” said Principal Letrice Portley. “This donation will absolutely put these students on the path to success, showcasing the powerful impact community-school partnerships have on the lives of our future leaders, thinkers and innovators.”
In partnership with DroneUp, Walmart will offer drone delivery in five other states in addition to Texas by the end of the year, including: Arkansas, Arizona, Florida, Utah and Virginia. In total, there will be 34 stores making drone delivery available in 23 cities nationwide by year end.
“Our mission is to set the gold standard for drone delivery and by partnering with Walmart, bring the incredible benefits that drones offer to local communities, organizations, and businesses,” said Tom Walker, CEO of DroneUp. “Our approach is unique; we practice safety above all else and incorporate state-of-the-art technology. Our strong relationship with the FAA has also been critical to our success as we build an infrastructure that supports growth and great career programs for operators now and in the future.”
DroneUp deliveries are powered by a team of certified pilots operating within FAA guidelines to safely manage flight operations. Deliveries will be made to the safest location of the customer’s home, such as in the front or backyard or driveway. Customers can check if drone delivery is available to their homes by visiting www.droneupdelivery.com.
