Water Damage from a fire loss

If you've ever experienced a fire loss in your home then you know water damage comes with that. You may wonder how or why the damage can sometimes be pretty extensive. To answer that question, it is because when the fire department enters your home during a fire they bring their hoses. They spray in the general area of the fire and usually, they try to tarp off some of your items to avoid damage. Of course with nearly 900 pounds of water spraying out its nearly impossible to keep it all in one single area. Water travels freely and will flow through any porous material it can. With insurance, most broken items are covered and will be replaced therefore there is no reason to stress over any broken items.
