Fire crews use a lot of water. Even a contained kitchen fire can generate hundreds of gallons of suppression water that runs into walls, floors, basements, and lower levels. Smoke and soot then ride that moisture deeper into the structure. Skipping the water side leaves a mold problem on top of the fire damage.
