Fire Damage Cleanup Process

Fire Damage Cleanup Process

A Fire Damage Specialist will thoroughly inspect your property and document all items that have experienced Fire Damage. Any items that are salvageable from the Fire will be cleaned accordingly and packed out by our trained Fire Damage Techs. Once all items are cleaned and packed, they will then be transported to our climate-controlled facility for storage.

First Response also has the capability of restoring fire-damaged furniture and other contents. Once we have inventoried, stored, refinished, or refurbished your salvageable contents, we begin cleaning your home or business. Once all the walls, ceilings, and contents are cleaned & deodorized, we start the restoration process. We understand that each fire is different and that is why our Fire Damage Specialists are IICRC-certified to handle every situation.

What to Do after a Fire

Fire Damage Restoration in Westchester and Fairfield Counties
  • Step 1 - make sure everyone is out of the house safely.
  • Step 2 - contact first response to board up any broken windows or tarp the roof.
  • Step 3 - A representative from first response will assist in calling your insurance company and getting you setup in a temporary living situation.
  • Step 4 - First Response will begin any emergency water removal and setting up temporary power as needed.
  • Step 5 - You and a specialist from the First Response contents division will meet onsite to begin inventorying all your salvageable and non-salvageable contents from the home. If there are any textiles that are salvageable a member from our team will pick those up to be cleaned and deodorized.
  • Step 6 - First Response will meet with your adjuster to get an agreed upon scope.
  • Step 7 - Once an agreed upon scope is determined First Response will then either coordinate Asbestos testing depending on the age of the home or begin the Mitigation process. The mitigation portion will consist of any necessary removal of smoke/water damaged materials, cleaning and deodorizing of the structure.
  • Step 8 - Once Mitigation is complete a walk through will take place with you and the assigned project manager from First Response. You will be walking through the structure to make sure everything meets your expectations and that you are satisfied!
  • Step 9 - First Response will setup a meeting with the adjuster to go over the repairs needed in your home. Once the adjuster agrees with our scope we can begin restoring your home and life back to normal!

Frequently Asked Question & Answer

After the first responders have extinguished the fire, your first priority is to ensure that all of your family members and pets are safe. After everyone has been accounted for, call us immediately to assess your property and begin a restoration plan.
We recommend that you hire a professional team to clean up fire and smoke residue rather than cleaning it yourself. Smoke is dangerous to inhale, and our team has the proper equipment and expertise to adequately handle the damage.
After a fire, the main concerns are the structural integrity of the home and the smoke residue. When a fire burns, it melts building materials and can create toxic fumes that linger within the property.
