Initial Considerations

Your first response to a fire should be the safety and welfare of your employees. You then need to contact the appropriate people to aid in putting out the fire and taking care of the aftermath.

• Contact 911 and report the fire.
• Implement your emergency plan and get everyone out of the building.
• Call your fire insurance company.
• Contact a professional fire restoration company to help get your building back to working condition.

Stay Away

As tempting as it may be, you should never re-enter your office building during or after a fire. Nothing inside is more important than your own life. Crews can salvage many items, and you can replace other equipment. Touching damaged materials can make things worse or cause injury or harm.

Work With Your Insurance Company

Hopefully, your organization has reliable fire insurance to cover the damages from the fire. This coverage should take care of fire damage, even if the fire started in a neighboring building. Your insurance representative will walk through the area and will make note of the extent of the damage and what losses you have incurred.

The Experts on the Scene

An experienced, skilled restoration company will come to your rescue to ensure you can safely return to work. The team will use high-powered equipment to do smoke cleaning and to sanitize all affected areas of the building. Stay in communication with the company so you know what completion timelines look like.

Fire restoration is a thorough process when you work with a reputable group of professionals. If you follow these guidelines, you can have peace of mind during an otherwise traumatic ordeal.
