How BMS CAT Cleared an Amazon Warehouse After a Fire

 

In this installment of Restoration Journeys, we highlight Thomas Malone’s firsthand account of a crisis at his Amazon warehouse and how BMS CAT’s swift response made all the difference.

Arriving for his shift early one morning, Thomas was met with flashing lights and an unexpected disaster—a lithium battery had ignited a fire in the compactor, filling the 110,000-square-foot facility with smoke. With operations at a standstill, he knew exactly who to call: BMS CAT.

Despite the early hour, Thomas was immediately connected with a knowledgeable expert who assured him that help was already on the way. Without hesitation, BMS CAT mobilized their response team—even before formal approval—demonstrating their commitment to rapid action. Within hours, their crew was on-site, deploying specialized equipment to eliminate smoke odors and restore air quality.

By midday, 90-95% of the lingering smoke smell had been removed, allowing operations to resume with minimal disruption. Thomas was blown away by the efficiency, expertise, and coordination of the BMS CAT team.

His experience is a testament to BMS CAT’s unwavering dedication to restoring businesses when disaster strikes—quickly, effectively, and without added stress.
