Now that safety and insurance are handled, it’s time to protect what’s left and start the cleanup process.

✅ Step 3: Secure the Property

Fire damage often leaves homes exposed:

• Board up broken windows and doors.
• Use tarps to protect roof damage.
• Prevent further water or weather damage.

💡 Pro Tip: Professional restoration companies like Champion can do this quickly and safely.

✅ Step 4: Begin the Cleanup Process

Fire damage includes soot, smoke, and water from firefighting efforts:

• Do not attempt deep cleaning—it could be hazardous to your health.
• Don’t turn on electricity or gas until they’re cleared.
• Hire trained experts for smoke removal, odor control, and drying out the space. Champion has been successfully mitigating fire damage since 1950.
