Electric Switch Plate Fire in The Villages of Grosse Pointe Shores?
12/7/2020 (Permalink)
It could have been much worse.
I live in The Villages of Grosse Pointe Shores, and one day the switch plate in the hall felt warm, and I meant to tell my husband about it. But it slipped my mind, and the next day I smelled fire, and sure enough, that light switch was ablaze! Thankfully the St. Clair Shores Fire Department came out and extinguished the blaze. Although the fire damage was minimal, the smell of smoke permeated the entire house; I had soggy hall carpeting leftover from the firefighting efforts, a fire-damaged wall, and a switch plate that needed replacement.
I called SERVPRO® of St. Clair Shores, and they sent out a team of fire restoration technicians to mitigate the damage and conduct an assessment. They immediately extracted the water in the hallway and set up dehumidifiers and air blowers to get the rest of the excess moisture out of the walls and floors. They repaired the faulty switch plate, replaced the damaged drywall, and cleaned and deodorized everything compromised by the fire. Yay!
