4 Important Steps to Take After a Fire Accident

It is normal to be a little shaken up after a house fire, especially one that is quite big. However, there are important steps you must take after a fire accident to ensure your family is safe and your property is not completely ruined.

Rainfire Restoration, a leading damage restoration service in Salt Lake County, UT.,  provides reliable fire damage restoration services to help you restore your property to its initial condition.

Important Steps to Take After a Fire Accident 

Some important things you should do to save your loved ones and property after a house fire include the following:

1. Get Everyone Out

The first and most important thing to do after you get out of your house fire is to ensure that everyone in the house is out and safe.

If there are children or aged people in the house when the fire happens, ensure to get them out as fast as possible. If necessary, call for help from neighbors and friends to bring everyone out of the fire.

When everyone is out, check to see if they are okay and call 911 if anyone is severely injured.

2. Assess the Damage 

After putting out the fire and confirming that everyone is safe, the next thing to do is to assess the damage. You want to evaluate the extent of the damage and the items and areas that were affected.

If you are uncertain if it’s safe to enter the affected building, you can ask your local fire departments for professional advice and guidance. As you assess the damage, remember to take pictures of everything that was affected, as they will come in handy when filing your insurance claim.

3. Call Your Insurance Provider

When the situation is stabilized and you and your family have gotten a place to stay, the next thing to do is to contact your insurance provider and inform them of the accident.

Your insurance agent will walk you through the claim process. They will educate you on what your insurance policy covers and the limit of your claim. Remember to read every document carefully and seek professional help if necessary, to ensure that you get the amount you deserve.

4. Contact a Fire Restoration Company

Your insurance company will likely work with a damage restoration company to clean your home and remove the smoke smell. But if they don’t you can hire your preferred local fire restoration company to help restore your home to its original state.

Your Salt Lake County fire damage restoration service will guide you through the restoration process and help you get your home back to how it was before the fire.
