Find Out if it is Safe to Re-enter the Structure
You should never enter a house, or any other type of building, that has caught on fire until the professional have let you know it is safe. Some other things to be aware of include:
- Be sure the fire is completely extinguished.
- Determine the severity of the fire.
- Ensure a safety zone has been established.
You should also understand that if the damage was extreme you may not be allowed back into the structure.
Who to Call after a Fire
Once the fire has been successfully extinguished, be sure to call any family or friends and your insurance company. Once all these calls have been made, you should call a fire restoration provider to come and access the damage that has occurred.
