Northern Wasco County

BELFOR cleaned and restored 12 service vehicles and equipment after a fire caused smoke damage to the truck barn building for Northern Wasco County Utility District in Oregon.

MAY 7 – BELFOR receives an emergency call that a fire in the utility department’s “truck barn” had caused major smoke damage to 12 service vehicles, equipment and the building itself. After completing a damage assessment and prioritizing remediation work, BELFOR began restoration efforts:

• Pressure wash, detail the interior and exterior of all vehicles, clean uplholstery in the cabs, and complete thermal fogging for odor control. Tools and equipment on each vehicle were cleaned and restored. All 12 vehicles were cleaned and ready for inspection by May 15.

MAY 11 – All electronic items and salvaged contents were removed, cleaned, processed and stored in temporary on-site storage containers in the parking lot so that employees could use them as needed. All metal shelving and racks were taken apart, cleaned and reassembled to hold stored cleaned contents.

“The BELFOR employees were always professional. Amidst the smoke and grime, all I saw were teeth from smiling BELFOR employees, always happy to help. Better than before, not much more I could ask for.”
