New Orleans High-Rise Fire Forces Evacuations: What Residents Need to Know
Fire sparks at New Orleans high-rise, dozens evacuated
This morning, 135 individuals were safely evacuated from a high-rise on Gravier Street in New Orleans. Fortunately, the sprinkler system activated and extinguished the fire. However, many residents are now facing significant water damage and are left without a place to live.
The aftermath of sprinkler damage can be quite challenging—often more difficult than dealing with flood claims. When the system activates, it can release over 100 gallons of contaminated water, filled with rust, dirt, and other debris, damaging personal belongings.
For those affected, here are some important steps to take:
Document the Damage: Record a video of the affected areas and items.
Create an Inventory: Compile a detailed list of all damaged belongings.
Seek Professional Assistance: Find a remediation contractor or content specialist experienced in water damage cleanup.
