pile of rags in the corner after using them to stain a brand new floor in
an office build-out. A rug and drywall were burned along with minimal water
damage to the floor.

a devastating fire with major damage. Tenants were back to work the next day
without interruption. Damage was estimated at less than $10,000.00. A
great save of a million dollar three story office building.”
