What to Do in the Immediate Aftermath of a Fire
Different building materials respond differently to fire damage and smoke exposure. Once you know that everyone is safely out of danger, stay out of the building until a professional tells you it’s safe. Things inside could be unstable, and touching or moving items could cause further damage.
Some other steps you should take in the aftermath of a fire include:
- Try not to move anything – soot could fall or settle elsewhere if items are moved around too much, causing more damage
- Keep your hands clean to prevent the spread of debris on furniture and walls
- Cover furniture or other larger items with clean towels or blankets. Protect walking areas as well
What not to Do in the Immediate Aftermath of a Fire
Now that you have a basic idea of what you should do, and after you take stock of the damage, here are a few things you should NOT do:
- DON’T wash anything until after you contact All Dry USA
- DON’T clean appliances that were near the location of the fire
- DON’T turn on any lights or electronics, particularly if you don’t know the cause of the fire
- As always, err on the side of caution and talk to professionals before you take any further steps.
