While the state of Connecticut continues to grapple with the widespread damage caused by flooding, it’s important to remember that other home emergencies don’t simply stop. One local family learned this firsthand when a fire unexpectedly broke out in their kitchen and quickly spread to surrounding areas of the house. What began as a small fire in the kitchen swiftly escalated. The flames moved from the stove to the cabinets and quickly overtook the adjacent rooms. Within minutes, the fire spread to the bathrooms, living spaces, and even the attic. Fire doesn’t stop to think or slow down—it moves fast, consuming everything in its path. The aftermath left devastating damage. Soot, smoke, and fire damage were visible throughout the house. The kitchen, once the heart of the home, was reduced to charred remains. The bathrooms and living areas were similarly affected, with smoke lingering in the air, staining walls, and destroying furniture. Even the attic wasn’t spared, with insulation and personal belongings lost to the blaze. Fire safety is critical, and being proactive with smoke detectors, fire extinguishers, and an evacuation plan can make all the difference in protecting your home and loved ones. Fire spreads fast—don’t let it catch you unprepared. #FireDamageRestoration #FireDamageRepair #FireRestoration #SmokeDamageRestoration #FireCleanup PuroClean PuroClean of Greenwich | Stamford Jennifer Restrepo Alejandro Restrepo Alexi Giantomidis Draško Šamara

You only need to prepare if the storm is a direct hit. Myth: People often think that unless a storm is headed directly toward them, they don’t need to take precautions. Fact: Storms can cause damage far beyond the center. Heavy rains, flooding, and high winds can affect areas hundreds of miles away, making it important to always prepare.

Myth: Taping Windows Protects Them from Shattering    Reality: Taping windows during a hurricane is not an effective method to prevent them from breaking. In fact, the tape can create larger, more dangerous shards of glass if the window does shatter, posing an even greater risk of injury. The most reliable protection is to install storm shutters or securely board up windows with plywood to minimize damage and ensure the safety of your home and occupants. It's essential to take these proven precautions rather than relying on outdated methods.
