The Do's & Don't's of a Fire Damage Emergency

  • If the temperature outside is above 60 degrees Fahrenheit, open the windows to air out the house and reduce smoke odor.
  • Clean laminate surfaces as well as chrome, porcelain, and aluminum fixtures to prevent permanent tarnishing or etching.
  • Change the air filter on your furnace if it uses forced hot air. 
  • Discard any open food packages.
  • If the electricity is off, clean out the refrigerator and leave doors propped open.
  • Send clothing with heavy smoke damage to a qualified restoration dry cleaner.
  • Tape damp cheesecloth over returns and supply registers to capture loose soot in the air.
  • Do not touch anything with your bare hands as the oils in your skin may cause additional damage.
  • Do not enter a structure if the structural integrity of the property is unknown, or if there’s been floor damage.
  • Do not wash walls as incorrect cleaning could compound the soot residue.
  • Do not attempt to clean carpets or upholstered furniture.
  • Do not use electrical appliances until having them checked.
  • Do not use ceiling fixtures if the ceiling is wet.
