After the devastating fire at New Berlin Road Church in Jacksonville, FL, Paul Davis National, large loss specialists and part of the Paul Davis Restoration franchise network, provided emergency services and disaster response along with demolition, fire damage clean-up, drying and stabilization. The Baptist church congregation was originally established more than 100 years ago on Main Street in north Jacksonville. The newer 25,000-square-foot metal frame church building was erected at 2351 New Berlin Road in 2005.

On the evening of March 1, 2012, a motorist was passing by the church and noticed smoke pouring from the building. Inside, flames from an electrical fire had engulfed the sanctuary and parts of the fellowship hall, kitchen and offices. The fire department was immediately called along with church Pastor Matthew Meadows. At the same time, Jon Davis, a congregation member and Owner/CEO of Sight & Sound Productions and Mugwump Productions in Jacksonville, became aware of the emergency and recommended that Paul Davis be included as experts on the job.
