Because many properties were repaired or raised after flooding, older and newer systems often sit side by side. Prompt board-up matters because homes near open water are exposed to wind and weather once windows or roofs are compromised. After the fire is out, water used to put it out frequently causes more damage than the flames, so drying and smoke cleaning go together.
In practice, crews in Hewlett handle board-up, soot and odor removal, and drying of any firefighting water in one coordinated effort.
