Tips on what not to do after a fire in Fergus Falls.

When fire damages your home or business it can be a stressful and chaotic time. There will be water damage left from the firefighting efforts and smoke and soot residue everywhere. SERVPRO® of Douglas & Otter Tail Counties typically arrives onsite within four hours of your call and will immediately begin the cleanup and restoration process. Here are some tips from our website on what NOT to do while waiting for help to arrive:

Don’t Do This

• Don't attempt to wash any walls or painted surfaces or shampoo carpet or upholstery without contacting us
• Don't attempt to clean any electrical appliances that may have been close to fire, heat, or water without consulting an authorized repair service
• Don't use any canned or packaged food or beverages that may have been stored near the fire, heat, or water
• Don't turn on ceiling fixtures if the ceiling is wet. The wiring may be damaged.
• Don't send garments to an ordinary dry cleaner. Improper cleaning may set smoke odor.
