Elite Level Fire Damage Restoration in The Colony, 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 The Colony, 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.

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.

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.

The Colony Fire Department re-thinking traditional roles

THE COLONY (CBSNewsTexas.com) - A North Texas fire department is re-thinking traditional roles to improve the way they fight fires and respond to medical calls.About five years ago, The Colony Fire Department created a single-role paramedic program, likely the first of its kind in the state."They do it in Chicago, they do it in New York, but I believe we're the first to do it to this degree," said The Colony Fire Chief Scott Thompson.The standard model at virtually all Texas departments is that...

THE COLONY (CBSNewsTexas.com) - A North Texas fire department is re-thinking traditional roles to improve the way they fight fires and respond to medical calls.

About five years ago, The Colony Fire Department created a single-role paramedic program, likely the first of its kind in the state.

"They do it in Chicago, they do it in New York, but I believe we're the first to do it to this degree," said The Colony Fire Chief Scott Thompson.

The standard model at virtually all Texas departments is that firefighters double as paramedics.

"The best term I like to use is we're a jack of all, master of none," said firefighter Michael Powers, who's been with TCFD for nearly 12 years. "[Being a paramedic] was a great byproduct, and a lot of firefighters think of it that way, as a byproduct, not their primary focus."

TCFD wondered if there was a way to do things differently.

"Firefighting and delivering pre-hospital care is getting more and more complex," said Chief Thompson. "And my fear is we're pushing the capacity of the human mind to be able to function in very stressful situations at a very high level."

So The Colony started hiring skilled paramedics who weren't trained as firefighters.

"That is a big, big cultural shift – to have these non-firefighters living with you a third of your life," the chief said.

Jamie Dismuke, a paramedic who's now been with TCFD for three years, was initially concerned about how things would go.

"There was always these stories, you hear how they talk on calls, and those types of things,"said Dismuke. "Just the firehouse mentality was something I was very unsure of, especially being a female as well."

Firefighters were skeptical too.

"When we went to the paramedic-only program, which at first I wasn't the biggest fan of – I was worried that it was going to deviate from our overall mission or show division throughout the department – and I couldn't be any more wrong than I was," Powers said. "It brought us together."

TCFD says it allows firefighters to focus on their firefighting and rescue capabilities and paramedics to provide the highest level of care, while working side by side.

"We let firefighters be firefighters," said Chief Thompson. "We let them come in and do the job that they think firefighters should do, and that's really worked for us."

Firefighters in The Colony are still certified paramedics and train to keep those skills up-to-date, but the paramedic-only personnel take the lead on medical calls.

"It's been really, really successful for us," Thompson said. "We have data that shows it's really increased the quality of our pre-hospital care, and it's just been a really great program."

Chief Thompson has been fielding calls from other departments interested in making the change, as call volumes increase and more demands are placed on firefighters.

"Right now, just like in all industries and occupations, it's really difficult to find qualified people," he said.

He believes this program helps with both recruitment and retention, as both the city and the department have grown rapidly in recent years. When TCFD needed to hire nearly 30 people to fill two new fire houses, they could pull personnel from the private EMS sector.

"I think more departments should look at in in the light of, if they can do it so can we," Dismuke said. "It gives you this hope that there is a better way, better benefits and a togetherness that can come between fire, police and EMS."

Three Houses Suffered Fire Damage In The Colony

Less than three days after Governor Greg Abbott declared a state of disaster in response to wildfires burning across the state, firefighters in The Colony responded to put out a fire on the 5200 block of Gibson Drive.According to ...

According to NBCDFW, the fire started at around 2:00 a.m. at one of the houses on Gibson Drive in The Colony before spreading to a neighboring home and a detached garage of a third property. While no injuries were reported as a result of the fire, WFAA reported that four alarms were raised to call for help to contain the flames due to wind and heat conditions. A total of five agencies responded to the alarms.

It is unknown if the course of The Colony’s fire was a wildfire, as the fire department continues to investigate.

Gov. Abbott’s disaster declaration stated that “wildfires that began on July 24, 2023, pose an imminent threat of widespread or severe damage, injury, or loss of life or property in” almost 200 counties across the state. The declaration came after several counties issued burn bans to prevent wildfires from starting and makes all state resources available to combat the threat.

While the number of wildfires this year is lower than in 2022, Texas A&M Forest Service officials said that the multiple consecutive triple-digit temperature days the state experienced this summer combined with the lack of rain and windy weather, creates the perfect conditions for fire to grow and spread.

“When we have days like that, we see more of that extreme fire behavior: very active, very intense fires,” the Texas A&M Forest Service Lead Public Information Officer told Community Impact.

To prevent the spread of wildfires, officials encourage residents to prepare to protect their homes and make evacuation plans in advance.

The Texas A&M Fores Service shared a few tips for residents looking to create fire-resistant landscaping that separates the home and fuels that fire will use to continue burning, including trees and dry grass.

PopStroke breaks ground in The Colony’s Grandscape

A groundbreaking for PopStroke was held at Grandscape in The Colony on Tuesday morning, marking the addition of the miniature golf course’s second location in Texas.

PopStroke is headquartered in Jupiter, Florida and is an experiential golf and casual dining concept that merges mini golf and family entertainment with cutting-edge technology and casual dining.

"PopStroke was created to bring people together through the game of golf, regardless of their skill level or age," said Greg Bartoli, CEO and founder of PopStroke, in a press release. "We are thrilled to expand our reach and share the PopStroke experience with new guests in The Lonestar State. This groundbreaking venture represents our commitment to connecting people by providing a unique experience that will resonate with the local community and visitors alike."

The course in The Colony, which is being constructed by Birch Construction, will feature two 18-hole putting courses designed to replicate a traditional golf course with synthetic turf that incorporates fairways, bunkers and a rough that is for players of all ages and skill levels. Each guest gets to keep a PopStroke TaylorMade commemorative ball with their round of golf.

PopStroke also infuses technology within the golf experience to create an interactive and competitive atmosphere for players. This includes the PopStroke App and jumbotron leaderboard.

The venue in The Colony extends beyond the golf course and will have a playground, an outdoor beer garden featuring classic outdoor games, a full-service bar and dining area, and a space for hosting events.

“A little over a decade ago, we made a concentrated effort to turn The Colony into a destination location,” Mayor Richard Boyer said. “A lot of people thought that was a silly notion and that we’re not in a position to really be seen in that light, but look at what we’ve done in that period of time. We are honored and thrilled to have PopStroke here. It’s going to be a huge success. Families will be able to come here and enjoy golfing right here in this setting with plenty of other things to do in Grandscape and The Colony.”

This extra dimension to Grandscape and the city will ensure that there is never a shortage of things to do in the area.

“Our vision continues to come alive as we bring unique, world-class entertainment venues like PopStroke to Grandscape,” said Jeff Lind, president of Grandscape. “By curating a mix of experiential retail, residential, office, dining and entertainment, we have built a destination unlike any other, where new adventures and memories await.”

PopStroke in The Colony is expected to open in February 2024 and marks the 12th venue for the brand.

The Colony location has been Portillo's top location in the country since it opened to much fanfare in January.

THE COLONY, Texas — Portillo's is apparently a big hit in North Texas.

The Chicago-based fast-casual restaurant, known for its hot dogs and Italian beef sandwiches, opened its first Texas location in The Colony on Jan. 18. And since then, the 7,900-square-foot restaurant has been raking in the revenue, to the tune of $48,000 per day, on average, the company's CEO shared on a quarterly earnings call this week.

Portillo's is a publicly-traded company ($PTLO) on the NASDAQ stock exchange.

The Colony location has been Portillo's top location in the country since it opened to much fanfare in January.

"This means it's been matching the volumes of restaurants in Chicago that have been open for decades," Portillo's CEO Michael Osanloo said on the March 2 earnings call. "Specifically, The Colony has averaged $48,000 in sales per day since the grand opening. Now, that annualizes to $17 million per year; and that's a crazy number, so please don't model that. It's definitely coming down. But we feel really good that this restaurant will significantly exceed our underwriting expectations and sets us up for further success in Texas as we continued to expand."

It's no surprise Portillo's has its eye on expansion.

Weeks after opening in The Colony, the company announced plans for two more North Texas locations, in Allen and Arlington. The Allen location will be just south of the Allen Premium Outlets, while the Arlington restaurant will be just off Interstate 20 and South Cooper Street.

Osanloo said the company has already started working on the additional North Texas sites, and they'll open this year. They'll be two of nine new locations Portillo's plans to open nationwide in 2023.

Their Texas footprint might get bigger, too. Osanloo said "don't be surprised if we build a few more in Texas this year."

He cautioned that The Colony location "will settle down" as time goes on.

"I think that's a restaurant that's going to settle down," Osanloo said. "It is an iconic flagship restaurant for us, in a fantastic location. And so, my expectations is that it performs closer to like a Chicago market restaurant than a typical out-of-core restaurant."

But the success of The Colony location, in Osanloo's eyes, answered at least one question.

"We have a lot of people asking us questions about, do you think you'll succeed in Texas? Do you think that people will eat Italian beef in Texas?" Osanloo said. "It's only six, eight weeks in, but I feel like the answer to that is a resounding yes. They seem to like our beef sandwiches a lot. No surprise, beef and bread works really well in the great State of Texas."

Osanloo said Texas "can be either hit or miss for restaurant companies." For The Colony location, Portillo's "overinvested to some extent" with experienced management running the restaurant and marketing efforts, including the company's "Beef Bus" making tours in Texas. The location, Osanloo pointed out, is also in the busy Grandscape development area, near NFM, Scheel's sporting goods and numerous other restaurants.

Surfing Facility Potentially Coming To The Colony

The venue would offer a surfing pool, a restaurant and bar, numerous cabanas, a hot tub and more

No ocean, no problem. Residents of The Colony, Texas may soon have the opportunity to hit the waves for some surfing in the near future.

According to the Colony Courier-Leader, the Colony Planning and Zoning Commission gathered on Feb. 28 to discuss the possible site plan for Fireside Turf.

Fireside Turf is a commercial recreation and dining facility in the works that would provide residents with a place to surf, relax, as well as eat and drink. The facility would be the first of its kind in the area.

Among the details of the venue's site plan discussed at the meeting includes a 2,195 square foot surfing pool, a 3,135 square foot restaurant and bar, a 1,554 square foot structure for locker rooms, a hot tub, numerous cabanas, a jumbo-sized video screen, a fireball sculpture and more. The overall facility measures out to be over 16,000 square feet in total.

“This is a high-quality venue and what we’re looking for is to be best in class,” Fireside Surf Co-owner Bill Adams said to the Colony Courier-Leader. “We want this to be the kind of place where you can watch people surf in an environment where you have a cabana and you can get food and drink.”

The Colony venue would be the first location for Fireside Surf as an establishment. Prior to Fireside Surf, Adams previously owned and operated indoor skydiving company iFLY.

Similar to iFly, Fireside Surf says it will be prioritizing safety, implementing such measures as a stop button for the surf pool, utilizing two lifeguards at all times, in addition to a rule only allowing one person to surf in the pool at a time.

A motion to present the planned surfing venue to The Colony City Council was approved by the city's planning and zoning commission.
