Professional Emergency Fire Damage Cleanup
The recent Spokane Area Fires have affected communities across Spokane County, including areas near Airway Heights, Nine Mile Falls, Mead, and the West Plains. Many homeowners and businesses are now facing the difficult process of cleanup and recovery.
We’ve worked as a demolition contractor in Spokane for more than 8 years, and we have never seen a week like this one. Because of the current wildfire situation, we’re prioritizing emergency fire damage cleanup and adjusting our schedule to help affected property owners as quickly as possible. Scheduled teardowns and routine jobs got pushed back. Our crew works burned structures every year, they know how to move safely on a damaged site, and right now they are pointed at one thing.
We’re taking jobs right now. You call, we get details on the property, and you’re on the assessment list that same day. From there we get the asbestos survey moving and pull your demolition permit with the county, so the moment your area is cleared and the paperwork is done, our equipment rolls in and the site gets cleaned up. The loss is heavy enough on its own. Figuring out who hauls away what’s left shouldn’t add to it.
What Our Fire Damage Cleanup Covers in Spokane
Emergency Response and Site Assessment
Every job starts with a walkthrough. We look at what burned, what’s still standing, and what’s holding weight. Fire does strange things to a structure. A wall can look fine from the street and be ready to drop. Our crew has been on enough burned sites around Spokane to read that quickly, and we tell you straight what we find. No guessing, no dragging it out.
Fire Damage Demolition
Some properties need a full teardown. Others only need the burned sections taken out so the rest can be saved. We handle both. That includes roof structures, charred framing, collapsed garages, and interior sections that took heavy smoke and water damage. We take down what has to go and leave what doesn’t, because tearing out more than necessary costs you money you may need for the rebuild.
Debris Removal and Hauling
Once the demo work is done, everything gets loaded and hauled off. Burned material is heavy, dirty, and full of nails, glass, and melted metal. It isn’t something to throw in a rental trailer on a Saturday. We bring our own equipment and containers, sort what we can, and dispose of it the right way at approved sites.
Residential and Commercial Properties
We work both. A burned home in Indian Trail and a damaged shop building out toward the county line get the same crew and the same priority. Commercial jobs usually need extra coordination with insurance and the county, and we’re used to that paperwork.
Site Cleanup and Rebuild Prep
The last step is leaving you a lot you can actually build on. That means the ash and debris are gone, the ground is graded, and access is clear for whoever comes next. Plenty of Spokane families are going to rebuild this year. Our job is getting the property ready for that day.
Structural Stabilization and Unsafe Structure Removal
We remove unstable sections, brace areas that can be saved when appropriate, and deal with chimneys, walls, roofs, and other hazards that could collapse without warning. Safety comes first on every Spokane fire cleanup project.
Why Spokane Homeowners Are Calling Us This Month
We Live Here Too
Our shop is in Spokane and our families are in Spokane. Some of our own crew spent that first weekend moving relatives out ahead of the fire line. We’re not an out of area company that showed up after the news vans did. Eight years of work in this county means our name is on jobs your neighbors can point to, and it’ll still be on jobs here next spring, long after the storm chasers have packed up and moved to the next disaster.
Emergency Jobs Go First, Every Time
We rearranged the whole schedule for this. Fire damage calls jump the line ahead of routine demolition work. Someone answers your call, takes down your address and situation, and puts you on the assessment list that day. You’ll know where you stand instead of wondering if your message got lost.
A Crew That Knows Burned Structures
Burned buildings are not normal demolition. Framing loses strength you can’t see, roofs sag without warning, and there’s asbestos in a lot of older Spokane homes that has to be handled correctly. Our crew has worked fire jobs for years. They show up in proper gear, they secure the site before anyone walks it, and they document everything as they go.
Fair Pricing When People Are Vulnerable
Prices go up after disasters. Ours didn’t. You get a written scope and a written number before we touch anything, and that number holds. If your insurance is covering the work, we’ll format the estimate so your adjuster can process it without sending it back three times.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I start cleaning up fire debris on my property myself?
Not yet. Spokane County is asking owners to hold off on ash and structural debris until testing is done. Moving it early can create bigger problems.
Do I need an asbestos survey before fire debris removal in Spokane?
Yes. Spokane Clean Air requires an AHERA certified inspector to test the ash and debris first. Any contractor telling you to skip that step is cutting corners.
Do I need a permit to demolish a fire damaged house in Spokane County?
Yes. The Spokane County Building Department issues demolition and debris removal permits. We pull them for you so your rebuild doesn’t get held up later.
Can you work with my insurance company?
Yes. We provide documentation, photos, and detailed estimates that can help support your insurance claim and coordinate with your adjuster throughout the cleanup process.
Can partially burned buildings be demolished?
Yes. Depending on the structural condition, we can remove only the damaged sections or perform a complete demolition if the building is unsafe.
How long does fire debris cleanup take?
Every property is different. The timeline depends on site access, required inspections, permits, asbestos testing, and the extent of the damage.
Where can fire debris be dumped in Spokane County?
Approved sites only. The North County and Valley transfer stations accept some fire debris, but ash coated material gets rejected. We handle sorting and disposal for you.
How soon can you start once my area reopens?
Call now and we’ll get you on the assessment list. We line up the asbestos survey and permits while you wait, so work starts the day clearances land.
