What to Do Immediately After a House Fire

Safety and recovery should be top priorities right after a house fire. While it’s a stressful time, taking the right actions early can help protect your property and speed up the restoration process:

  • Wait for clearance from local fire authorities before entering the property, even if the fire appears to be out.
  • Contact your insurance provider to report the damage and begin the claims process as soon as possible.
  • Document visible damage with photos or videos before moving or cleaning anything, which helps support the insurance report.
  • Secure the property by boarding up broken windows or doors to help prevent weather damage or unauthorized entry.
