Quick answer

After a fire in California, wait for the fire department to clear the building, protect the property, photograph the damage, call your insurer and call (833) 917-4160. A local company can then explain how soot, smoke and water cleanup will work.

Fire damage in California

Long dry seasons bring wildfire and wildfire smoke to many communities, while cooler, wetter months mean more indoor heating, cooking and electrical fires. Wildfire is a significant concern in California. Even when flames stay away, smoke and ash can enter homes and leave odor, residue and filter problems that need cleaning.

Nationally, cooler months are the busiest time for house fires. NFPA research for 2013 to 2017 found that November through March accounted for 47 percent of home structure fires, so heating equipment, chimneys and electrical loads deserve attention before winter.
