Many waterfront homes have been repaired, raised, or rebuilt over the years, so older and newer wiring often share the same walls. After a fire, hose water frequently does more damage than the flames, so drying and smoke cleaning go together. Securing a damaged home quickly protects it from the weather that comes off the bay.
In practice, crews in Oakdale handle board-up, soot and odor removal, and drying of any firefighting water in one coordinated effort.
