Insurance and claims
General documentation tips. Cover depends on your policy wording.

Document
- Photos and short video before discarding soot-damaged items.
- Note time, rooms affected and fire department incident number if you have it.
- Keep communication with your insurer.
Claim
Notify your insurer as your policy requires. A referred contractor can describe technical findings; they do not replace your claim or act as your public adjuster.
Not legal or insurance advice.
