Post - Fire Damage Tips:

• To prevent soot particles from being embedded into textiles, limit movement in the home. 

• Place clean towels or old linens on top of rugs, upholstery, and carpet to prevent further damage.

• Change/replace the HVAC filter.

• Over air registers - tape double layers of cheesecloth.

• Empty freezer and refrigerator and prop doors open if the electricity has gone off.
