How Fire and Smoke Damage Shows Up in Southwest Denver Metro
Wildfire along the hogback
The Quarry Fire was discovered on July 30, 2024 near Deer Creek Canyon, west of Ken Caryl. It burned 579.6 acres, led to the evacuation of about 575 homes, and was 100 percent contained on August 7 with no homes lost. On March 11, 2017, a fire of more than three acres burned near the hogback in Ken Caryl Valley with no structures destroyed. No homes were lost in the Quarry Fire, and no structures were destroyed in the 2017 fire.
Wind, smoke, and ash
The National Weather Service notes that winds of 60 to near 100 miles per hour can occur in and near the foothills, including Denver, and that downslope winds are strongest in winter. Smoke and ash settle in attics, ductwork, and soft furnishings, so a home can need professional cleaning even when flames stay far away. We test and clean the surfaces and air systems, not just the visible soot.
Rules that shape repairs
Jefferson County maintains a Wildland Urban Interface map with a Class 1 for lower hazard and a Class 2 for moderate to high hazard. Its Wildfire Resiliency Code took effect on July 1, 2026 for new construction and exterior alterations on unincorporated properties. West Metro Fire Rescue publishes a Wildfire Risk Assessment Map and wildland maps. We help you plan fire repairs around the rules that cover your property.
How We Handle Fire Damage Restoration in Southwest Denver Metro
- You call (720) 914-8589. We ask whether anyone is hurt, confirm the fire department has cleared the structure, and dispatch a crew.
- We board up openings and tarp the roof so weather and entry do not add to the loss.
- We assess the soot and smoke type on each surface and inventory contents for cleaning or replacement.
- We remove soot and ash, clean HVAC systems and ducts, and treat odor with thermal fogging, hydroxyl, or ozone as the job requires.
- We document the loss, coordinate with your adjuster, and rebuild with our own crews.

Signs You Need Fire Damage Restoration, and What To Do First
- Visible soot on walls, ceilings, or contents
- Smoke odor that returns after airing out the home
- Fine ash in attics, window tracks, or around vents
- Discolored or brittle plastics, wiring, and finishes
- Water from firefighting in walls, floors, or ceilings
- Smoke residue in the HVAC system or on the air filter
Stay out until the fire department says the structure is safe. Do not turn on the HVAC system, do not wipe soot with a dry cloth, and do not eat food that was exposed to smoke or heat. Call (720) 914-8589 so we can board up, tarp, and begin removing soot before it etches surfaces and sets odor.
What Affects the Scope and Timeline
The scope follows the type of smoke, the surfaces, and the contents. Protein smoke from a kitchen fire behaves differently from the soot of a structure fire or the fine ash of a wildfire, and each needs a different cleaner. We inventory contents for cleaning or replacement, test surfaces, and decide which materials can be cleaned and which must be replaced.
Cleaning and deodorizing a smoke-affected home can take days to weeks, and a structure fire that requires rebuilding takes longer because of permits, materials, and inspections. We give you a schedule after the on-site assessment, and we update it as the scope becomes clear.
What We Restore After Fire damage
- Walls, ceilings, and framing
- Attics and insulation
- HVAC systems and ductwork
- Furniture and upholstery
- Clothing and textiles
- Electronics and appliances
- Documents and photographs
- Kitchens and bathrooms with heat damage
Insurance and Documentation for Fire Damage Restoration
We provide Direct Insurance Coordination on fire and smoke losses. That means photos, readings, and a written scope of work that your adjuster can review, communication with the adjuster on your behalf, and billing handled for you. Coverage depends on your policy, so confirm with your carrier what applies to smoke, ash, and contents cleaning, since policies handle contents and structure differently.
