You Had a Fire Accident, Now What?

It’s important to act quickly after a fire so you can help avoid loss. Your insurance company may deny some or all of your loss if you don’t take steps to minimize the damage to your property. You are required to:
  • Protect the property from further damage
  • Make reasonable and necessary repairs to protect the property
  • Keep an accurate record of repair expenses
Keep in mind that an insurance agent or adjuster is not required to look at the damage first, so you should follow these steps as soon as possible:
  • Board up windows and doors to keep people out
  • Cover the roof to prevent moisture from leaking in
  • Make sure the heat is working in the winter
  • Winterize the plumbing if heat is not going to be fixed quickly
  • Dry anything that has gotten wet
  • Move valuable possessions that need immediate attention out of the house

Do’s and Don’ts When a Fire Strikes!

After fire damage, it is natural to want to clean a building and its contents. Timely action can be a great help, but incorrect cleaning can jeopardize or seriously the restoration process.

Do:
  • Clean and protect chrome trim on kitchen appliances with a light coating of Vaseline or other oil
  • Blow off or brush-vacuum loose smoke particles from upholstery, drapery and carpet
  • Open windows for ventilation
  • Change furnace filter if blower is operating
  • Empty freezer and refrigerator completely if electricity is off, and prop doors open with a rolled towel or newspaper
  • Clean and protect smoked bathroom faucets, tub fittings and towel bars with light coating of oil
  • Pour antifreeze in toilet bowls, sinks and tubs to prevent freezing if heat is off in winter
  • Wash plants with water on both sides of leaves (water softener helps)
  • Call plumber to drain heating system if heat is off in winter
  • Remove pets (especially birds) to clean environments

Don't:
  • Wipe or attempt to wash walls, ceilings or other absorbent surfaces
  • Use upholstered furniture if it can be avoided
  • Use exposed food items, or canned goods which have been subjected to excessive heat
  • Use TVs, stereos or electrical appliances until cleaned and checked
  • Send smoked garments to an ordinary dry cleaner – improper cleaning may set smoke and odor
