Here is a checklist from SERVPRO of Westminster of what you can do until help arrives in the event your home or office experiences a Fire: 

• Limit movement in the home or prevent soot particles from spreading and additional damage from occurring. 
• Place clean towels or old linens on rugs and high traffic areas and upholstery. 
• Coat chrome faucets, trim, and appliances with petroleum jelly or oil. 
• Place aluminum foil or wood blocks between furniture legs and wet carpet, 
• Do not wash any walls or painted surfaces. 
• Do not shampoo the carpet or upholstery. 
• Do not clean any electrical equipment. 
• Do not send clothing to a dry cleaner since improper cleaning may set a smoke odor. 

Lastly, be sure to ask a SERVPRO of Westminster team member about our contents claims inventory service and document restoration services. We understand the stress one may experience this time of loss and we are here to help restore things to preloss.
