What to do after a fire

After a fire in your home or business, you may not be sure what your next steps should be. Here are some the steps to follow to begin the recovery process:

Ensure Safety: First and foremost, ensure the safety of all individuals involved. Do not re-enter your property until the fire department has confirmed it's safe to do so. Fires can cause structural damage, making buildings unsafe to enter.

Contact Your Insurance Company: As soon as possible, contact your homeowners insurance company to report the fire and start the claims process. They'll guide you on what to do next and what information they need.
Document the Damage: Take photos or videos of the damage for insurance purposes before any cleanup or repairs begin. This will help in the claim process.

We will also secure your property by boarding up windows and doors, and putting a tarp over the roof if it has been damaged.
Arrange Temporary Accommodation: If your home is uninhabitable, you'll need to arrange temporary housing for you and your family. Check with your insurance policy, as it may cover these costs.
Take Care of Your Mental Health: Experiencing a fire can be emotionally devastating. Don't hesitate to seek support from mental health professionals, community resources, or loved ones.
Replace Essential Documents: You may need to replace important documents that were lost in the fire, such as passports, driver's licenses, social security cards, titles, deeds, and financial documents.
Address Financial Matters: If you've lost income or have extra expenses due to the fire, contact your bank, credit card companies, utility providers, and other relevant parties. They may have hardship or disaster relief options available.
