What To Do After A Fire?
Fire is something that instantly reminds one of
an emergency situation. When a house is on fire,
its destructive and disparaging. Even when the
fire is over, the situation is entirely messed up
and the next step to be taken doesnt strike
immediately as you are emotionally exhausted as
well. Heres a brief instruction guide which will
help you at the delicate moment of stress.
Get assured that the site is safe to enter Dont
enter the site before you get a green signal from
the fire personnel. It can be hazardous to do so.
The fire causes the walls and ceilings to weaken
and entry might be prohibited before proper
restoration process. When you are allowed to go
inside, immediately start the restoration work
before the poisonous gas and elements hurt you
and your family.

Ensure security of the site After the fire is
exhausted, dont leave the site unattended. It
might be at risk of theft, unfavorable weather
conditions, or vandalism. Before you leave the
site, make sure you get all the main doors and
windows locked with the help of the
firemen. Call important / relevant people Once
the running around is done and the fire is off,
you need to call your family members or fellow
housemates and inform them about it. Call your
insurance company at the earliest to avoid any
inconvenience later. If you are a tenant, you
immediately need to call the house owner as
well. Clean up the damaged property If the fire
had been controlled at the earliest, it is
possible that your house isnt destroyed totally
but just went through some damages. Confirm it
from the fire brigade and if it is only damaged,
arrange for your clean up requirements. Even if
it is not visible, the smoke and soot that is
left behind can be harmful and should be dealt
with as soon as possible. You can also take
professional help and hire fire damage
restoration services if you want to be sure
everythings normal again. The above steps
arent very complicated and easy to remember. And
at the time of crisis, these are the very words
of wisdom one might be looking for. Ensuring
safety of your people and important belongings
should be your first priority. If the site needs
to be renovated before accommodation, it is
better to shift to some temporary dwelling while
the work is going on. It will save you from all
the harmful particles that
