The building and many of the things in your home may have been badly damaged by flames, heat, smoke and water. You will find that things the fire did not burn up are now ruined by smoke and soggy with water used to put out the flames. Anything that you want to save or reuse will need to be carefully cleaned. The firefighters may have cut holes in the walls of the building to look for any hidden flames. They may even have cut holes in the roof to let out the heat and smoke. Cleanup will take time and patience.<\/p><p>Now that you have more of an idea of what to expect, here are tips to follow to help you get your family back to normal!<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-7472d62b\" data-id=\"7472d62b\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-667373cc elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"667373cc\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"534\" src=\"https:\/\/suffernfire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/AdobeStock_147916995-3-1024x684-1.jpeg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-236\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/suffernfire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/AdobeStock_147916995-3-1024x684-1.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/suffernfire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/AdobeStock_147916995-3-1024x684-1-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/suffernfire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/AdobeStock_147916995-3-1024x684-1-768x513.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section data-particle_enable=\"false\" data-particle-mobile-disabled=\"false\" class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-1c3a61cb elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"1c3a61cb\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-5d945aca\" data-id=\"5d945aca\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3e105e58 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"3e105e58\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">What Do I Do Now?<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-31b3ed0d elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"31b3ed0d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<ul><li><strong>Take Care of Yourself and Your Family-<\/strong>\u00a0Contact your local disaster relief service, such as the American Red Cross or the Salvation Army. They will help you find a place to stay and to find food, clothing and medicine. Make sure that you have a safe place to live temporarily. You have a big job ahead of you. Get<br \/>plenty of rest, and ask for help. Do not try to do it all alone.<\/li><li><strong>Security and Safety-\u00a0<\/strong>Do not enter a damaged home or apartment unless the fire department says it is safe. Fires can start again, even if they appear to be out. Watch for damage caused by the fire. Roofs and floors may be damaged and could fall down. The fire department will make sure the utility services (water, electricity and gas) are safe to use. If they are not safe, firefighters will have your utilities turned off or disconnected before they leave. Contact your police department to let the police know that you will be away from your home. In some cases, you may need to board up openings so that no one can get in when you\u2019re not there.<\/li><li><strong>Contact Your Insurance Agent-<\/strong>\u00a0Contact your insurance company right away. Ask what to do about the immediate needs of your home. This includes pumping out water and covering doors, windows and other openings. Ask your insurance company what to do first. Some companies may ask you to make a list of everything that was damaged by the fire. They will ask you to describe these items in detail and say how much you paid for them.<\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-6e32875c\" data-id=\"6e32875c\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-757c7f1b elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"757c7f1b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Downloadable Resources<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6ba9c54b elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"6ba9c54b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<ul><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.usfa.fema.gov\/downloads\/pdf\/publications\/fa_46_press.pdf?utm_source=website&amp;utm_medium=pubsapp&amp;utm_content=After%20the%20Fire!%20Returning%20to%20Normal&amp;utm_campaign=R3D\">After the Fire!
