Identify The Cause
The cause of a fire may not be easy to determine, but once the fire has been dealt with, there are likely to be telltale signs of how the accident has occurred. Discarded cigarettes, trails leading away from your home and broken electrical appliances may suggest that the fire has occurred due to one of these issues. By observing the scene prior to debris being cleared, a surveyor should be able to determine what caused the fire to occur as well as the damage caused to your home.
Try Not To Panic
Your first response in the aftermath of a disruptive fire may be to panic, but you should remain calm and contact a local insurance and property claim specialist such as All Property Claims. Children are likely to be worried in the aftermath of a fire, and you may worsen the situation by making spontaneous decisions in regards to insurance and repair needs, so give us a call on 0203 011 2495 for advice tailored to your situation.
Ensure Your Property Is Safe And Secure
Safety is paramount when a fire has occurred, so make sure your property is secure against the possibility of a fire occurring again. If you believe the fire to be the result of faulty electrical equipment, then carefully disconnect such equipment or contact a specialist to do so. Similarly, if a fire is believed to have happened due to a log burner or other domestic appliance, don’t use the item and contact the manufacturer at your convenience.
