What to Salvage First In Case of a Fire

Understandably, there are a lot of thoughts that go through your head when a fire occurs. Fortunately, Mammoth Restoration is prepared to lend a hand and help you with the process of fire damage restoration. Even if you haven’t experienced a fire (and we hope you never do), it doesn’t hurt to know what to salvage first in case it happens. Here’s what we recommend.

Important Documents

In all our years of providing fire and water damage restoration, we often see the damaged remains of important documents. This is why we recommend finding and setting aside your important documents beforehand so they can easily be salvaged or located in case of any calamity or emergency. For business establishments, this may include paper files or anything that’s not backed up electronically.

Valuable or Sentimental Items

You can try to salvage anything else that has value to you, sentimental or otherwise. Items of this nature may include artwork, family photographs, or collectibles that are rare or difficult or impossible to replace. The most important step to take with the salvage process is to remove anything that’s not damaged or severely damaged out of the affected area.

Electronics like Laptops and Mobile Phones

If you’re diligent about taking advantage of our restoration services in Flagstaff, AZ, it’s often possible to save some electronic devices if proper restoration and salvage techniques are used. The ones you should focus on first are ones likely to have important or personal information, such as laptops and mobile devices.

In case of a fire, it is never advisable to try and go back into a burning property to try and salvage material belongings.
