PASO ROBLES, Calif. (PRWEB) April 08, 2022 - Escaping from a fire is a frightening event and even after everyone is out and safe there are more safety issues to address. The fire damage experts SERVPRO of Pismo Beach / Arroyo Grande know that risks to safety and health can still be present after the fire is out and have recently released a report to help families and individuals stay safe after a fire.

One important thing to remember is to not enter the building until the fire authorities say it is okay to do so and then enter with caution. There is always the danger of a weakened structure collapsing. The water and soot remaining may also be contaminated so its best to not touch fire-damaged items without appropriate personal protective gear.

Medical care is at the top of the list for after-fire safety. Even though there may be no visible bruises or signs of injury, smoke and soot can be inhaled and be potentially harmful. As soon as possible, everyone should have a medical checkup. Take pets to the veterinarian for a health check. Anyone with a respiratory or health condition should be examined by a doctor.

Other important things to remember include:

Fully aware that fire emergencies happen at any time, the team is available to respond 24/7 every day of the year. A highly-trained professional assesses the damage and helps file the insurance claim. The team, trained and certified in all aspects of fire damage remediation responds to clean and restore the building and contents so life returns to normal as quickly as possible.
