The aftermath of a fire can feel overwhelming, but the right steps immediately can make a major difference in how much is saved and how smoothly recovery goes.
Ensure everyone — including pets — is safe and accounted for before anything else.
Do not re-enter the property until fire officials declare it safe. Smoke, heat, and structural instability remain dangerous after the flames are out.
Contact your insurance company promptly to start the claims process.
Document all visible damage with photos and videos — only if it is safe to do so.
Call On the Spot Restoration immediately. The faster we respond, the more we can save.
Notify Your Insurance Before Work Begins

10 Fire Safety Tips Every Florida Home Should Follow
Florida homes face unique fire risks from heat, humidity, and seasonal storms. Stay proactive year-round.
1
Test smoke alarms monthly and replace batteries every six months.
2
Keep fire extinguishers in the kitchen, garage, and any workshop — and know how to use them.
3
Create and practice a fire escape plan with your family, especially if you have young children or elderly residents.
4
Don’t overload power outlets or extension cords, especially during the holidays.
5
Store flammable materials like gasoline and propane away from the house in approved containers.
6
Never leave the kitchen unattended while cooking — especially when frying.
7
Use hurricane-rated surge protectors to reduce the risk of electrical fires during storms.
8
Clean dryer vents at least once a year to prevent lint buildup.
9
Trim trees and clear yard debris, especially in dry seasons when fire can spread quickly.
10
Keep candles, matches, and lighters out of reach of children — opt for flameless candles whenever possible.
Being proactive is the best defense against a home fire. If the unexpected happens, On the Spot Restoration is ready to respond, day or night, to help you recover quickly and safely.
