Fire Damage in School Library

Although these pictures look as if someone just tidied up the shelves there was a fire that created smoke and odor throughout. Each of these books was removed, boxed, and take to our facility. There it was cleaned of the soot residue and then deodorized before it was boxed back up.

It was very meticulous work which is why we asked our most patient and attentive workers to do the job. Once boxed back up they were placed back on the shelves in the order they were taken off; except that they were placed in neater rows. The librarian was astonished at how well we remembered where every book was taken in order to put them back.
