Q: Can you use flour to put out an electrical fire?

• <div><p>Baking soda is an effective fire reduction method. However, flour and baking powder are very dangerous around flames. Flour is flammable and it can also conduct electricity.

Q: How do you get soot off chimney bricks?

• <div><p>Depending on the amount of soot present, you can vacuum some of it using a brush attachment on your vacuum cleaner. Then, remove the leftovers with a mild cleaner, such as dish soap or vinegar mixed with water. Before applying a cleaning solution, saturate the bricks with clean water to prevent the cleaner from penetrating beyond the surface and causing structural damage to the bricks.</p></div>

Q: What can be salvaged after smoke damage?

• <div><p>Hard materials like glass, metal, and hardwood floors, washable fabrics, and undamaged electrical appliances can often be salvaged after a fire, although it depends on the extent of the damage. For washable fabrics, make sure to use a phosphate mix during the washing process to extract the smoke smell. There are a few <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-to-throw-away-after-smoke-damage.htm">things you should throw away after a fire</a>, like canned foods and cosmetics, even if they don&rsquo;t look like they&rsquo;re damaged. </p></div>
