Post-Fire Building Re-Occupancy Procedure
Resource Description
Interior fires can result in the release of vapors, gases, and particulates that can cause both acute and chronic health issues. Even after the fire is extinguished there is the potential for harmful airborne contaminants to be present in the area. The purpose of monitoring the air quality post-fire is to ensure the contaminate levels are below established limits prior to the space being reoccupied.
