How to choose
Which service do you need first?
Most fire jobs need several of these services, and the order matters. If the roof or windows are open, board-up and tarping come first so weather cannot add damage. If firefighters used water, extraction and drying start right away, because the EPA advises drying materials within 24 to 48 hours to prevent mold. Smoke and soot cleanup follow, starting with dry removal, and odor treatment comes after the residue is gone.
If you are not sure where your home stands, call. The contractor you speak with can help you sort out what is urgent and what can wait, based on what you describe.
