4 Things to Look Out For When Returning Home to Assess Damages After a Fire Evacuation:

  1. Consult Fire Officials: Check with fire officials if it is safe for you to return home

  2. Driving to Your House: Look out for weakened or loosened trees, rocks, soil, or utility poles that can fall down on the road

  3. At Your Home: Check roof, exterior areas, and throughout the house for hot spots, sparks, and embers. Flare ups can occur. Have fire extinguisher and/or bucket of water ready
