The BronxShort answer
In Fordham most of our fire work is in apartment buildings where smoke from one unit spread through hallways, stairwells and neighboring apartments. After the fire department releases the building, each affected unit and the common areas need their own cleaning and their own records. Water from firefighting usually has to come out too.

Two fires that shaped how we work here
Recent fires in and around Fordham show how far smoke travels in a big building. One started with an e-bike in a hallway; another, in a high-rise nearby, killed 17 people when smoke rose through the building. Both are why our Fordham jobs always include the hallways and the neighbors.
What that means on a job: when a fire starts in one apartment, we check the units on either side, the floors above, the hallway and the stairwell for smoke, and keep each one on its own record. Hose water that ran into the units below is removed and dried at the same time.
A charred e-bike was found in a hallway near the origin of a 2025 fire in a six-story apartment building on Marion Avenue in Fordham.

Where the work happens in Fordham
Around Fordham Road and the Grand Concourse, prewar buildings with long hallways and shared stairwells spread smoke widely. We clean units from the ceiling down, treat odor, and work with the managing agent on hallways and stairwells.
The same buildings run steam heat, so riser and radiator leaks through plaster ceilings are the other common call, along with mold in bathrooms and closets on cold walls.
