Rebuilding After a House Fire: What You Need to Know
Here Are Some Steps You Should Consider After a House Fire:
Ensure Safety: The first priority should be your safety and that of your family. Evacuate the building and keep a safe distance from the fire. Do not enter the burning building.
Call Emergency Services: Dial 000 to report the fire and request assistance from the police, fire, or ambulance. Provide them with the necessary details and follow their instructions.
Contact your Insurance Company: Report the fire to your insurance company as soon as possible. They will send an adjuster to assess the damage and start the claim process.
Secure the Property: If possible, secure the property to prevent further damage, theft, or looting. Contact the local authorities to help secure the site.
Document the Damage: Take pictures and videos of the damage, if possible, to provide to the insurance company.
Find Temporary Housing: If your home is not safe to live in, arrange for temporary housing for you and your family.
Salvage Valuables: If possible, try to recover valuables from the damage, but only do this if it is safe to do so.
Contact Utilities: Contact your gas, electric, and water companies to have the utilities shut off to prevent further damage or injury.
Get Medical Attention: If anyone has been injured in the fire, seek medical attention immediately.
Hire a Professional Clean-Up Company: Hire a professional fire damage restoration company to clean up and repair the damage. They will remove smoke and soot, and help to prevent further damage from smoke and water.
Plan the Restoration Process: Work with your insurance company and the fire damage restoration company to plan the restoration process. This may include cleaning up and repairing the damage, replacing damaged items, and rebuilding your home.
