LOMITA BOULEVARD FIRE DAMAGE
LOCATION: Lomita, California
INSURANCE CARRIER: Safeco Insurance
GENERAL CONTRACTOR: E.D. Hansen Structures Inc.
SCOPE: Due to the fire protection offered to the roof rafters by the gypsum board ceiling lid, the fire at this fast food
restaurant caused only minimal damage to the structure. The char was removed from the glu-laminated girders
and we deemed the remaining girder cross-sections to be adequate for the girders' continued use without any
additional strengthening. A well coordinated effort by Safeco Insurance was key to the quick reestablishment
of business operations.
