• Turning off the water if there is a pipe outburst
• Covering a section of a leaky roof etc.
• Contact your insurance company, and ensure that would act promptly. The road to recovery after a fire damage can be long and financially demanding. Your insurance company would go a long way towards helping you get back on your feet.
