A garage fire can leave behind a pretty significant mess, and figuring out where to start with the cleanup can feel overwhelming. Once the fire is completely out and it's safe to enter, there’s a process you can follow. Step 1: Secure the area.
Make sure there’s no immediate danger, like unstable structures or live wires, and restrict access to prevent further damage or injury. Step 2: Ventilate carefully. Open windows and doors if it's safe and won't spread soot to other parts of your home, helping to reduce strong odors and improve air quality.
Step 3: Assess the damage, but don't touch everything. Take photos and videos for insurance purposes, noting affected items and structural components. Step 4: Call the professionals.
