STEPS TO TAKE AFTER A FIRE
Protect Yourself and Your Family
Stay outside the affected areas and follow all instructions provided by the fire department and local authorities.
Contact a Fire-Damage Restoration Company
Arrange a professional inspection as soon as possible to evaluate fire, smoke, soot, odor, and water damage.
Notify Your Insurance Company
Report the loss promptly and ask what photographs, documents, and emergency-service records are required.
Document the Damage Safely
Take photographs or videos only from areas that authorities have confirmed are safe to enter.
Limit Movement Through the Property
Reducing foot traffic helps prevent soot from spreading into unaffected rooms, carpets, upholstery, and personal belongings.
Secure the Property
After receiving approval to enter, arrange emergency board-up, roof covering, or temporary protection to prevent additional damage.
WHAT TO AVOID AFTER FIRE DAMAGE
Do Not Enter Until the Property Is Cleared
Wait until the fire department or appropriate authorities confirm that the building is safe to enter.
Do Not Touch Soot-Covered Surfaces
Touching soot with bare hands can push oily residue deeper into walls, furniture, and other materials.
Do Not Attempt to Clean Walls or Carpets
Using household cleaners or incorrect techniques may spread soot and permanently stain affected surfaces.
Do Not Operate Electrical Devices
Do not use lights, appliances, outlets, or electronics that were exposed to fire, smoke, heat, or water.
Do Not Consume Exposed Food or Beverages. Discard food, drinks, medicine, and cosmetics that may have been affected by smoke, heat, soot, or firefighting water.
Do Not Wash Smoke-Damaged Clothing
Standard washing or dry-cleaning methods may lock smoke odors and stains into the fabric. Use a qualified restoration cleaner.
