Can clothes be saved after a house fire?
Many clothes and textiles can be saved with specialized cleaning that removes smoke odor and soot, even when they smell strongly at first. Items that actually burned, melted or soaked in contaminated water usually can't be.
What should I take out of the house myself?
If the fire department says it is safe to go in briefly: medications, ID and important papers, phones and chargers, glasses, and irreplaceable items. Leave the rest for the pack-out crew.
