The 5 Most Important Things to do after a Fire!

1. Call a Public Insurance Adjuster. When you call the fire into your insurance company, they immediately assign an insurance adjuster to limit the claim. You need to know that you can hire your own adjuster. Call today before you make any statements or decisions that will affect your claim: (903) 733-4664

2. Report the claim properly. Read your policy, if you have a copy available to you, then report the claim in the right manner. If you have questions, simply call a Public Insurance Adjuster and ask them for free.

3. Take photos with written captions like "Master Bath" & "Damage to Front Door". Photos without captions are barely useful in this situation.

4. Get everyone to a comfortable living situation. Get a large hotel room or suite, the insurance company probally owes you a home like the one that burned until you can re-occupy yours.  Take the pets to a boarding facility or keep them in your hotel with you.

5. Make a list of everything damaged in the fire. You can get help to make your list, sometimes the insurance company will even pay for the help, depends on your policy. If you have any questions, call me. (903) 733-4664
