After a Fire
BRIEF OVERVIEW AND INFORMATION
IF YOU ARE INSURED - The first thing to do after a fire is to contact your insurance company or agent as soon as possible. If you are renting or leasing the property, you must also contact the owner. Your insurance adjuster may be able to assist you in making immediate repairs or help in securing your home. If you are unable to contact your agent and need professional assistance in boarding up your home, you may contact a general contractor or a fire restoration firm. (refer to your yellow pages, under Contractors- General or Fire & Water Damage Restoration)
You may obtain a copy of the fire report from our station located at 300 N. Tennille Avenue. Fire Reports are usually completed within 72 hours of the incident. *Other volunteer departments in the area may have different protocols.
If you are not insured and need assistance, The American Red Cross is available to assist families who have been displaced from their homes through any disaster. They are available around the clock, every day of the year, with food, clothing, and housing. Please contact them at 1 (855)891-7325.
