Ridge (11961), in the central part of Suffolk County, borders or sits near Manorville, Upton and Calverton. Ridge is covered by the Ridge-Manorville-Calverton Community Wildfire Protection Plan, and part of the area burned in 1995.
Original wiring and electrical panels in older homes were sized for lighter loads, and overloaded circuits are a known risk. A puff-back from an older boiler or furnace is a familiar cause of widespread soot damage. Smoke follows ducts and wall cavities, so cleaning usually extends well beyond the room where the fire began.
In practice, crews in Ridge handle board-up, soot and odor removal, and drying of any firefighting water in one coordinated effort.
Crews also serve nearby Manorville, Upton and Calverton. Crews also handle water damage in Ridge and mold remediation in Ridge.

Brush fire smoke can settle on surfaces and into HVAC systems, and cleaning and deodorizing may be needed even without fire damage.
