What you can do until help arrives
After any fire damage situation, your primary focus should be safety:
- Is it safe to stay in the house?
- Electrical and “slip and fall" hazards are some of the most prevalent concerns.
- Only do activities that are safe for you to perform.
- Wet materials can be VERY heavy. Be careful!

- Don't use any canned or packaged food or beverages that may have been stored near the fire, heat or water.
