The after effects of a fire is a stressful time for any property or business owner. Many people don't have to experience fire damage in their lifetime, but if a fire does occur or strike your home knowing what to do and who to call is crucial in time like these.

One of the most important first steps, but often overlooked is boarding up your property. Damages to walls, doors, and windows is common whether its from the actual fire or first responders doing everything they can to get rid of the fire. If your property isn't secure it could lead your home or business to become vulnerable to animals, thieves, and even weather. Which only leaves you feeling more stressful then you already are. 

After any disaster, it could take insurance companies time to access the damage and figure out what they will and wont cover. Securing your property with boards or even just tarps protect your belongings before and through the inspection and cleanup process.
