Considerations After a Fire Disaster

Do not assume that your home or other structure is safe just because the fire is no longer raging. Toxic gasses and particulate matter usually result from even a small or medium size fire. Keep in mind that toxins are generated not only from the fire itself, but also depending on what sort of materials have been consumed in the fire. Plastics, household cleaners like bleach and other toxins, old paint cans, treated wood and synthetic fibers, gasoline, and other toxic materials leave dangerous residue when they burn. Soot, smoke, and dangerous gasses can settle on objects, infiltrate walls, and hang in the air even after several days. Only once your fire damage restoration expert has given you the all-clear is it safe to re-enter your home.

Trusted Fire Restoration Professionals

We are typically available to respond to fire damage calls in about an hour. Once onsite, we apply our 16-point checklist to assess the damage, plan our response, and get to work on restoring your property.

We are certified by the Institute of Inspection Cleaning and Restoration, a non-profit organization that has been certifying disaster relief specialists since 1972. That means that all of our professionals are highly trained in evaluating all aspects of fire damage and restoration, leaving nothing to chance. All of our experts are heavily insured and carry a B-10 contractor’s license. 

Here are some of the items that we assess as soon as we begin working:

• Water damage caused by the firefighters, which can lead to mold growth
• Smoke infiltration, both visible and invisible
• Damage to windows, roofs, and other structures that must be secured to prevent further damage from weather events
• HVAC operations to determine if the system has been penetrated by soot and smoke
• Damage to walls, carpets, furniture, and possessions

We work with all insurance companies and provide excellent value. The main goal of fire damage clean up is to restore your house or place of business to pre-fire condition!

Your Fire Disaster Checklist

Don’t assume that your property is safe to enter just because the fire has been put out. There is likely invisible as well as visible damage that will take time to uncover.

Make sure to follow instructions from fire fighters and other professionals onsite. They are tasked with keeping you safe and will let you know when it is OK to re-enter the property to assess the damage and retrieve items that may be salvageable.

• Attend to family members and pets—If you or your children are feeling shortness of breath, fatigue, or mental distress, be sure to pay a visit to your doctor, even just as a precaution. All pets should be assessed by a veterinarian as they can suffer from smoke inhalation and burns you may not be able to see. 
• Find a place to stay—Family and friends may be able to provide safe haven; otherwise, local disaster relief organizations may be able to assist. 
• Contact your insurer—It’s important to contact your insurance company as soon as possible following the fire to get their documentation process started and to find out what is and is not covered by your insurance. There may be an allowance for hotel accommodations or a vehicle if yours was lost. Get a blank notebook and record all purchases that are fire-related.  Keep all receipts (or take photos with your phone if that’s easier for you to track).  
• Locate important documents—Assess lost items such as passports, birth certificates, insurance policies, credit cards, and the like. Begin to contact relevant agencies to replace anything that was lost. Request a copy of the fire report from your fire department. 
• Retrieve salvageable belongings—Once your home has been declared safe to enter, you may begin to collect belongings that were spared. Use photos to make a list of items that were affected, and try to track down purchases on credit card statements or from emails. Your insurer will require this information in order to provide a cash amount for your losses.

Fire Damage Restoration FAQs

Are house fires common?

The National Fire Protection Association reports that there are more than 350,000 house fires every year in the United States that result in more than 2,500 deaths. 

What are the most common causes of house fires?

Kitchen fires—grease fires, unattended food, electrical appliances, and barbecue grills—cause nearly half of all house fires. Space heaters, electrical fires, and smoking and candles contribute greatly to the incidence of house fires as well. 

Who decides whether my home can be saved?

A serious fire that affects large portions of your home can sometimes necessitate a complete rebuild. Your insurer will assess the damage using an adjuster who has experience in evaluating fire damage.

Will my insurance pay for fire clean up? 

It depends on your type of insurance. We work with all insurance companies to verify what they will and will not compensate you for and provide you with an itemized list of our fees.

Do I need professional cleaners even after a small house fire?

It’s important to get a professional assessment, even after a small kitchen fire, to determine whether smoke damage has left residue that can affect your health. The quicker you respond to and properly clean up after a fire, the safer the dwelling will be for you and your family. 

Is it safe to handle belongings that did not burn in the fire?

Not necessarily. Soot and residue can stain fabrics if not properly removed. TVs, computers, speakers, and other electronics should be evaluated in case there is unseen damage. Touching anything containing fire residue can actually make the problem worse.

Can we live in a house with fire damage?

It is important to allow your fire damage restoration expert to do their job following a fire. It can be difficult to wait after being displaced by fire—you just want to get back into your home! Once your restoration expert does their job and gives you the all-clear, it is safe to return. Fire clean up should always be handled by experts; do not attempt to clean up fire damage by yourself.  

What are the immediate concerns following a fire?

Once all family members and pets are accounted for, it is imperative to call a fire restoration crew. They will assess the damage, remove contaminated items from the property that can make you and your family sick, and coordinate with your insurance company. They will also secure the property against further infiltration of rain or the elements, as well as board up any windows and doors that could be penetrated by thieves. After these items have been taken care of, restoration can begin.

At The Disaster Company, we are available 24 hours per day, 7 days per week when you need a fire restoration crew. Call us at 801-741-0000 when disaster strikes. You don’t have to go through a fire at your home or business alone!
