Emergency Tips from the National Institute of Disaster Restoration

---

After fire damage it is natural to want to jump right in and clean the building and contents. Timely action can be a great help, but incorrect action can jeopardize or impede satisfactory restoration.

DO...

• Clean and protect chrome trim on faucets and other brightwork by washing with detergent and applying a coating of Vaseline or oil.

• Blow off or brush-vacuum loose smoke particles from upholstery, draperies and carpeting.

• Open windows for ventilation if weather permits.

• Empty refrigerators and freezers if electricity is off, and prop doors open with a rolled towel or newspaper to allow air circulation.

• Pour antifreeze in toilet bowls, tanks, sink and tub drains to prevent freeze damage if heat is off in winter.

• Call a plumber to drain and blow out all water lines if heat is off in winter.

• Remove pets to a clean environment if heavy fire residues are present.

• Send a sample group of garments for cleaning and deodorization in order to observe the results.

• Retain a contractor to board up open windows, roofs, or other penetrations in order to prevent additional damage.

DO NOT...

• Do not wipe or attempt to wash fire residues from walls, ceilings or other absorbent surfaces.
• Do not use carpeting or upholstered furniture impacted by heavy smoke residues or debris.

• Do not use food items or canned goods exposed to heat.

• Do not turn on computers, TVs, stereos or electrical appliances until they have been cleaned and checked.
