After the fire is out, you need to make sure that everyone involved is safe and that people who need it get medical attention. Once everyone is taken care of, you should call your insurance company to submit a claim. The insurance company needs to assess the damage before you can start the restoration process. Make sure to list everything that was damaged by the fire and document the damage by taking pictures and video. The more thoroughly you document the damage, the more likely the insurance company will cover in your claim.
