Funds Available for Victims of Powerhouse Fire in Santa Clarita & Surrounding Areas


LOS ANGELES, June 11, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- A fire that began in the San Francisquito Canyon in Santa Clarita, California on March 31, 2013 has destroyed at least six homes and led officials to declare a state of emergency as firefighters continue to fight the blaze that has now consumed 50 square miles.

What this means for property owners in Santa Clarita and surrounding areas is that damages from smoke, ash, soot and fire related toxic-waste pose a significant danger once these materials begin to settle in and around commercial and residential properties. Based on available information, the affected areas include Santa Clarita, Castaic, Palmdale, Lake Hughes, Lake Elizabeth, and surrounding areas.

Properties will be affected as often times smoke, ash, soot, and other toxic wastes penetrate the building envelope and settle in and around homes. These materials commonly settle on rooftops, exteriors and inside ventilation systems and air ducts. If not remediated and cleaned in a proper fashion, these chemicals can pose long-term health risks to you and your loved ones.
