What to Do After the Fire

Fire safety is a vital concern to everyone. After a fire strikes, lives are suddenly turned around. Recovering from a fire in your home can be a physically and mentally challenging process for you and your family. Often, the hardest part is knowing the steps you need to take and whom to contact.

The Montgomery County Fire and Rescue Service has compiled information from publications of the Federal Emergency Management Agency and the United States Fire Administration to assist you in your recovery efforts. Immediate action will be required for many of the recommendations while others may be needed in the future and others will be on-going.

This information is provided to assist as you begin rebuilding your life. Emotional care and recovery are just as important as rebuilding a home and healing physical injuries. The Montgomery County Fire and Rescue Service will do all that we can to assist you in the process of returning your life to normal.
