Right after a fire

What to Do in the First Few Hours

A fire is overwhelming. These four steps keep your family safe and stop the damage from spreading while help is on the way.

Then call Five Star, 24/7(509) 525-2121
  1. Stay Out Until It’s Cleared

    Don’t go back inside until the fire department says it’s safe. Damaged floors, ceilings and wiring can fail without warning.

  2. Keep the Heat and AC Off

    Running the furnace or air conditioner can pull soot through the ductwork into rooms the fire never touched.

  3. Don’t Scrub the Soot

    Wiping or washing soot can smear it deeper into paint, fabric and carpet. Leave it for a trained crew.

  4. Photograph and Call Your Insurer

    Take photos before anything is moved, then start your claim. We can walk you through the process.

Emergency fire restoration

What We Handle After a Fire

The first 24 hours set up everything that follows. We secure the house, stop the damage from spreading and start the cleanup, all with one crew you can reach any hour.

  • Board-Up and Tarping

    We board up broken windows and doors and tarp open roof areas, so your home is secured against weather and intruders.

  • Fire Mitigation

    We remove debris, reduce secondary damage and move damaged contents to a safe area.

  • Water From Firefighting

    Hoses leave a lot of water behind. Our water damage crews extract it and dry the structure out.

  • Smoke and Soot Removal

    Soot can cover almost any surface, and smoke reaches into air vents and the attic. We clean it at the source.

  • Odor Removal

    Ozone application, hydroxyl generation, encapsulants and HEPA air filtration to remove smoke odor.

  • Contents Cleaning

    Your belongings are cleaned and cared for during the restoration, not just the structure.

“We experienced a fire in the attic and roof, and water damage in our three story home. It took a lot of perseverance over 16 months to get us back into our home and provide us our two rental apartments, back and functional. There were many obstacles to overcome but they made it happen for us. We want to thank each and every one of you for your time, knowledge, sweat and persistence; and for your friendship. You can't go wrong with 5 Star.”

Frequently Asked Questions

How Soon Can Someone Get Here?

Call (509) 525-2121 any time, day or night. Our emergency line is answered 24/7, and we’ll get a crew moving to secure your home and assess the damage.

Is It Safe to Stay in My House After a Fire?

Not until the fire department says it’s safe to go back in. Even then, smoke and soot can make a home unlivable. If that’s the case, we’ll help you find a safe place to stay through the cleaning and rebuilding stages.

Will My Insurance Cover Fire Damage?

Most homeowners policies cover fire and smoke damage, though coverage limits and deductibles depend on the policy, and your insurance company makes the coverage decision. We walk you through the process of working with your insurer and help with the paperwork.

How Long Does Fire Damage Restoration Take?

Minor fire damage may take a few weeks. Larger losses that involve structural repairs can take several months, depending on the scope of the work and insurance approvals.

Do You Do the Repairs and Rebuild Too?

Yes. After mitigation and cleanup, our reconstruction team handles drywall and painting, rough and finish carpentry, flooring, and kitchen and bathroom remodels, and manages the subcontractors, so one company sees the job through from start to finish.

Can Smoke-Damaged Belongings Be Saved?

Many can. Contents cleaning is part of our fire restoration process: damaged belongings are moved to a safe area and cleaned so they’re cared for along with the structure.
