Becoming a victim of a fire loss is never on anyone's list of 'to do's', but when or if it does happen to you or a loved one - it's good to have a checklist of what you need to do right away:

After the fire - your first call should be to your insurance agent to get the claim process rolling.  

Next - you should locate or start replacement of:

• driver’s license
• insurance policies
• military discharge papers
• Passports
• birth, death, marriage certificates
• social security or medical cards
• credit cards
• titles to deeds
• stocks and bonds
• wills
• medical records
• warranties
• finance & income tax records
• citizenship papers
• mortgage papers

Know your coverage as most policies will cover temporary living expenses in addition to coverage of your home and contents.  The mitigation and restoration process can take months - depending upon the extent of the fire, smoke and odor damage to your property.
