A fire broke out at a warehouse in Orange, New South Wales, causing significant damage to the facility. It was determined that the fire had likely been caused by a tool battery, resulting in damage to approximately half of the warehouse and office areas. The affected sections were heavily covered in soot, with structural materials sustaining severe damage.
The local Steamatic team in Orange responded swiftly but quickly realised that the scale of the fire damage required additional support. After conducting a thorough assessment, Steamatic Sydney was called in to assist.
The Challenges
The primary challenge was the extent of the fire damage. Both the structural integrity of the warehouse and valuable electrical equipment were impacted. The complexity and volume of the work required seamless coordination, demonstrating the power of our regional restoration teams backed by our nationwide presence.

Electrical Contents Restoration: Our electrical technicians carefully cleaned and restored all restorable electrical equipment, ensuring it was free from soot contamination.
Disposal of Debris: Six full skip bins of damaged materials, insulation, and debris were safely disposed of.
