Older heating equipment in basements and utility closets is a common origin for puff-backs that send soot through the living space. After the fire is out, water used to put it out frequently causes more damage than the flames, so drying and smoke cleaning go together. Coastal humidity and salt in the air wear down electrical connections, a factor in some fires near the water.
