What to Do in the Immediate Aftermath of a Fire
Check On Your Family’s Safety
The most important step after a fire is checking in on your family and yourself. Check for physical injuries and also that everyone is mentally alright. No one will be perfect after the disaster, but make sure that you are fortified enough to inspect your home.
Analyzing The Damage
Once you’ve stabilized yourself enough, it’s time to go back to your property. Open all the windows and doors and invest in a high-suction fan to bring in air from the outside. Wear protective gear, a mask and, long-sleeved clothing while you go through your home to keep your skin safe. Unfortunately, you’ll have to make some hard choices about what to salvage and what to throw out.
Contact Local Experts For Help
