Every 24 seconds a fire department in the United States responds to a fire.

We hope you’re never part of this stat – but in case you are, you’ll need to know what to do in the event of a fire, and how your homeowners insurance can protect you from financial loss.

Here’s how to take care of your home following a fire.

Filing an insurance claim. 

If you need to make an insurance claim for fire damage, it always helps to have photos or videos showing the damage. Photos and videos help your insurance company handle claims fast, and figure out whether to send a restoration vendor or an investigator for more complex claims. Obviously, that’s not always possible after a major fire (safety first), so wait until the fire department gives you the green light to safely go in.
