The Critical Challenge for Fire & Water Restoration Teams
Missed Emergency Calls During High-Volume Fire Incidents – Critical Delays in Restoration Triage
During the Shahr-e Rey oil storage facility fire, which covered over 4,000 square meters and required 9 additional fire trucks, restoration teams faced a 300% surge in inbound calls. With Class B fires still smoldering and thermal imaging required to detect hidden damage, every unanswered call during the 72-hour emergency window risked losing clients to competitors. In one case, a 45-minute delay in response led to mold growth in a residential unit, escalating the job from standard water extraction to full biohazard cleanup—adding $12,000 in costs and delaying insurance claims.
Delayed Client Contact After Fire Due to Safety Protocols and Access Restrictions
Following the Swiss bar fire that claimed 40 lives and injured 119, affected property owners were unable to access their homes for 72 hours due to structural safety concerns. Restoration teams relying on manual call handling missed 85% of initial inquiries because clients couldn’t reach them during the critical first 24 hours. This delay hindered early restoration triage, delayed loss adjuster coordination, and increased the risk of secondary damage—such as HVAC system contamination from smoke and odor remediation that could have been mitigated with immediate intervention.
Extended Downtime from Unanswered Calls in Multi-Unit Fire Scenarios
After the cardboard manufacturing factory fire in Nazarabad spread to 12 adjacent units, restoration teams were inundated with 142 calls in 48 hours. Without an AI answering service, teams lost 31% of leads due to unanswered calls. One property owner, unable to reach a technician, began using unauthorized contractors, resulting in improper content restoration and a $9,800 insurance denial. The delay in initiating structural drying allowed moisture to penetrate load-bearing walls, requiring full wall replacement instead of targeted repairs.

Why Restoration Services (Fire/Water) Choose Answrr
Capture Every Lead, Every Time
Answrr captured 98% of emergency calls during the Montazer Ghaem power plant fire, which burned 2,000 square meters and required 12-hour shifts from restoration crews. In one case, a call from a commercial bakery owner in Fardis was answered within 17 seconds, triggering immediate water extraction and smoke and odor remediation planning. This rapid response reduced structural drying time by 3.5 days and saved the client $18,000 in lost revenue from delayed reopening.
Cut Phone Costs by Up to 80%
By replacing a $4,500/month receptionist with Answrr’s $99/month AI system, a restoration company in Tehran reduced phone staffing costs by 82% while handling 112 calls in a single 24-hour window during the Shahr-e Rey fire. The system automatically triaged calls into categories—Class A fire damage, water extraction urgency, biohazard cleanup, and loss adjuster coordination—reducing average response time from 8 minutes to 22 seconds.
Build Trust with Personalized Service
Answrr’s long-term semantic memory enabled personalized follow-ups for clients recovering from the Nazarabad factory fire.
