Insurance
If you have insurance, contact your insurance company or broker as soon as possible. Take lots of pictures of the damage. Your city, town, or county (municipality) may give you more information about making insurance claims.
Work with your insurance company as much as you can. They'll have contractors they approve and work with. Learn more about hiring a fire restoration contractor.
