In the early morning, an electrical fire broke out in Boght Hill Elementary School in Latham, NY. The fire started under the stage and destroyed the cafetorium and kitchen, penetrating the roof and side of the building.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BELFOR RESPONSE<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There was excessive smoke damage throughout the gymnasium, hallways, and library. While the fire department was on site, the school district called BELFOR. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Calling BELFOR was their first choice since the previous year, there had been a fire at another district school – Shaker High School. The fire at Shaker was much smaller but the district was pleased with the mitigation and restoration BELFOR provided. The district was confident in BELFOR\u2019s abilities based on previous experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BELFOR was on site quickly to assess the situation and start staging equipment. With a crew of over 75 BELFOR specialists, all the smoke damaged areas were cleaned and restored. The library, halls and gymnasium were cleaned. The gymnasium was repainted. By the end of the following week, which was spring break, the students returned to their classes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
