What the area looked like with cocoa powder all over the equipment and floor!

A commercial building ,near our warehouse of SERVPRO of Woodridge/Bolingbrook ,had a fire and left a huge mark. An AC unit in one of the production rooms caught fire. For what we do with fires are the following; Cleaning all the ceilings and walls with chemicals. While this is our steps for fire, things got crazier when walking into the factory and seeing cocoa powder all over that room. To clean this fire and cocoa powder, many shop vac and people needed to be called in to get the job done and looking new. With ceilings near 20 feet high, special lifts and equipment was needed to begin work. Within 3 days and overnight shifts, the warehouse was looking fresh and new. No more smoke or cocoa powder in sight.
