A house fire is devastating no matter its size. You have to rebuild your life while mourning the loss of precious possessions and cherished recollections. In the aftermath of a fire, it can be difficult to know who to call and what to do.
Following a Fire: What to Do
Once everyone is safe, the first thing to do is to dial 911. Do not go back inside your house until the fire department says it is okay to do so. A fire that seems to have been extinguished can reignite at any time. It’s also possible that structural damage has rendered your home precarious.
Get yourself, your loved ones, and your pets to the local clinic or animal hospital as soon as possible if anyone sustains an injury.
Call your insurance company and a fire restoration firm like ours once you’ve gotten the all-clear from a fire expert so we can come take a look at the damage. Do not go back inside to clean or grab anything you left inside. For insurance requirements, we’ll need to take photos of the damage right after the fire.
