Quote - OMG,

I'm glad that you are ok.  One thing to keep the stink down is to stuff a wet towel under your main entry door.  This will also help to keep smoke from entering as well.  One thing you might want to look into, is a smoke hood.  It is essentially a plastic bag you put over your head with a small air supply (compressed air in a can).  You can probably find one at an Army Surplus type of store.  Also, if your walls are smoke stained, you can wash them down with a TSP (Tri-Sodium Phosphate) solution.  I wish you well. -Starkdog

I did the towel thing at the bottom of my door. Actually, I always have a towel by the bottom of my door because the people in the apartment across from me smoke pot and I can't stand the smell.

The fire was 4 floor below and I didn't get any smoke in my apartment so luckily I don't have to clean.  I can't say the same for those in the surrounding apartments to the fire though. I'm sure there is probably water damage all the way down to the basement.

able to know ourselves fully as we are, especially the evil side of us.
This we can do only if we are not angry with our critics but will take in good
heart whatever they might have to say." - Ghandi
