After a Fire

Give first aid where appropriate. Seriously injured or burned people should be transported to professional medical help immediately. Take roll and make sure everyone is accounted for. Help bring to the attention of medical personnel, any injured person. Do not re-enter the home or building until you get the O.K. from fire officials. Look for and take pictures of structural damage. Throw away food that has been exposed to heat, smoke or soot. Contact your insurance agent. Remember not to discard damaged goods until inventory has been taken.

• Give first aid where needed.
• Make sure every one is accounted for.
• Do not re-enter the burning structure.
• When you do re-enter your home, check for structural damage.
