The first thing you need to think about following a house fire is your own safety and that of your family members. It is important not to enter a fire-damaged structure until the fire department has deemed that it is structurally sound. Going back into your home after a fire can be overwhelming and emotional while you take in all of the damage that has occurred. when you are able to re-enter your home, it is important not to disturb items, as this can lead to secondary damage.
