  • Find a safe place to stay- It is crucial to find somewhere safe to stay while dealing with a fire’s aftermath. Often, you can work with your insurance company to find a place with the costs covered.

Smoke, ash, and soot can cause major damage to a home. Following a house fire, these materials eat away at surfaces and pose a severe health risk to anyone inhabiting the home. After a fire, there isn’t just fire damage and smoke damage; there may also be toxic residues left over from burning materials such as plastics and chemicals. These leftover remnants can be just as dangerous as the initial fire. It’s important to reach out to professionals following a fire in your home, to have everything assessed and cleaned up accordingly.
