Even after the flames are out, a fire scene can be unsafe — weakened structure, compromised wiring, and lingering smoke. Do not re-enter until the fire department says it's safe.

Soot, smoke odor, and the water left from firefighting make many homes unlivable during restoration. Your insurance may cover temporary lodging (often called 'loss of use') while the work is done.
