Yes. Calls also come in from nearby places such as Newark, Orange, South Orange. Ask the operator to confirm that your ZIP code is covered.
Can smoke odor be removed from a home in East Orange?
In most cases yes, but the residue has to be cleaned first. Deodorizing without cleaning usually fails because the source is still on surfaces and inside materials. A company may use methods such as thermal fogging, hydroxyl treatment or air scrubbing.

Often not right away. Damaged utilities, soot, structural problems and poor air can make a fire damaged home unsafe. Ask the fire department when you can enter and ask the restoration company about air quality and the condition of the building.
