Biohazard cleanup in Bell Buckle, Tennessee

Cleanup in Bell Buckle: what shapes the work

Preserved Victorian homes, shops and churches give the town its character, and downtown is known for antiques, quilts and crafts. In historic buildings, cleanup planning weighs which original materials, such as old wood floors, plaster and trim, can be cleaned and which have to be removed.

Festivals and the Webb School bring visitors, boarding students and families into a town of only a few hundred residents. Incidents at a school, shop or event are arranged through the institution or organizer, and work downtown is staged to keep foot traffic away.

Before help arrives

1. If someone is hurt or has died, call 911 first. Inside city limits the Bell Buckle Police Department responds; outside them, the Bedford County Sheriff's Office.
2. Do not clean anything yet. Wait until the scene is released, and avoid household cleaners on blood or fluids.
3. Close off the area. Shut the door, keep children and pets out, and turn off fans blowing toward the room.
4. Write down the case or report number and the agency name. Your insurer and the property owner may need it.
5. Call us when you are ready. We will explain what is involved before anything is agreed.
