Fire that broke out and we did a board up

SERVPRO is usually one of the first people to come out right after a fire disaster. Our job is to clean up after the disaster and help salvage any contents we possibly can. We know that after a fire disaster occurs the results can be devastating. Although, the longer you wait the more things can go bad. We like to get in right away so that we can get a game plan going to help salvage anything we possibly can.

www.statefarm.com suggests these steps after a fire disaster:

1. Find a safe place to stay. No matter the amount of damage, you likely can't stay in your own home.
2. Contact your insurance agent. You'll need to start a claim and address your immediate needs. "Loss of use" funds from your insurance policy will cover living and other daily expenses.
3. Address your finances. You'll still need to make mortgage payments — even if your home is destroyed. Your insurance policy, which should cover your home's value and mortgage, will make payments to you and your mortgage lender.
4. Recover your possessions. Items destroyed in a house fire are usually covered by insurance.
