Assess

Recognize fire and smoke conditions, residue types, affected materials, safety issues, source concerns, and first decisions.

Stabilize

Clean

Learn soot cleaning, HEPA vacuuming, content handling, odor control, corrosion concerns, sealing, and structural cleaning workflow.

Document & Explain
