Fire can cause an extreme amount of damage to your home including damaged cause by flames, heat, smoke, and water. The aftermath of fire leaves behind is toxic. The soot and dirty water left behind may contain things that could make you sick. Be careful if you go into your home and if you touch any fire-damaged items.
