How BMS CAT Restored a Hotel After a 2-Alarm Fire

 

When a two-alarm fire broke out at a large hotel, swift action was critical to minimizing damage and disruption. BMS CAT responded in under 45 minutes, arriving on-site to assess the situation and begin stabilizing the property. This immediate response helped protect the building from further loss.

That same night, the local BMS CAT team secured the site, laying the groundwork for a smooth transition to full restoration. By morning, BMS CAT’s National CAT (Catastrophe) division had deployed, bringing in the resources, equipment, and large-loss expertise needed to manage the complex recovery effort.

From securing the site to executing a complete restoration plan, BMS CAT worked closely with hotel management throughout the process. The mission was clear: restore the property to its original condition with minimal disruption to operations.

This incident highlights what BMS CAT does best: rapid response, coordinated teamwork, and expert-led recovery. By acting quickly and scaling efficiently, we help businesses recover from major losses faster and more effectively.

Whether it’s fire, flood, or another disaster, BMS CAT is always ready to restore commercial properties and critical infrastructure when it matters most.
