After House Fire Checklist

It doesn’t matter who you are and what walk of life you’re from, experiencing a house fire is extremely devasting. Not only are you forced to quickly get on with your life and immediately pick up all the broken pieces, but there are simply things that can never be replaced. When a house fire has taken place, it’s normal for a person not to have their head on straight and know what actions need to be taken. My friend Lisa called a few days ago and mentioned her neighbor had gone to church on Sunday and after driving home, they could see smoke as they drove closer. They realized it was their home burning out of control with fire trucks...
