Returning Home After a Wildfire

Once a wildfire has burned through or near an area, many dangers can remain. Firefighters and utility workers begin restoring fire damaged areas as soon as they can. It is important to be aware of the hazards and know what to look for once an evacuation order is lifted.

1. When driving, watch for trees, brush and rocks which may have been weakened or loosened by fire weather and response. Be aware of debris or damage to roadways
2. Inspect your home: check for the smell of gas and use a battery-powered flashlight to check for hot embers in rain gutters, on the roof, under overhangs, under decks and crawl spaces, wood, and debris piles and attics.
3. If electricity is off, make sure all appliances are off before turning power back on. If there are any electrical wires on the ground, stay clear and contact your utility company immediately.
4. Discard any food that has been exposed to heat, smoke, or soot
5. Use a hose or wet towels to wet down and wipe off ash, rather than sweeping or blowing it back into the air, creating unhealthy conditions
6. Consider replacing all filers in your home and vehicle.
7. To rid your home of the smell of smoke, attach filters to box fans, cover with a wet towel doused in fabric softener and allow them to run to filter the air.
