Sometimes fires happen no matter how careful people are to prevent them. The "After a Fire: Put the Destruction Behind You" pamphlet will help them handle the practicalities of the loss.

Homeowners and tenants are given separate lists of instructions in how to handle the aftermath, from contacting the appropriate people to cleaning up the debris. There is also advice on where uninsured people can get help. Ways to come to terms with the hardships faced after a fire are presented in this brochure. These helpful topics include -- a sweeping tragedy, immediate aftermath, starting over, if your house is insured, if you have no insurance, clean up and salvage, temporary relocation, clean the air and personal recovery.
