Fire damage in town.

This was a residential fire damage job in town that SERVPRO Of NW Bakersfield was called out to help clean up. You may ask yourself, What is the first thing I should do after a fire? Experiencing a fire to your home or business can be traumatic and stressful, and knowing what to do after a fire can seem overwhelming. First, contact your insurance company for immediate assistance, and guidance to know if your claim will be covered or not then you can contact SERVPRO for emergency services. Try to locate any necessary documents you’ll need, like a driver’s license and other records, but don’t enter the structure unless the fire department has deemed it safe for you to do so, first. Try not to touch anything until SERVPRO gets there unless you have to then please wear gloves so you don't get soot on your fingers hands then touch something else and spread it on something that's not even affected or on your own clothes. Also always wear a mask in the affected area. SERVPRO will suit up and take all protocols seriously.
