In the scary aftermath of a housefire, it's hard to know what to do first. While waiting for help to arrive, safety should be your number one concern. 

• Assess whether it’s safe to stay in the house.
• Look out for electrical and “slip and fall” hazards.
• Only attempt activities that are safe for you to perform.
• Wet materials can be VERY heavy. Be careful!
• If safe to enter, and weather permits; open windows and doors to “air out” structure and reduce smoke odors.
