In addition to contacting ServiceMaster DSI for professional assistance with your home's restoration, you can take measures to minimize damage to your property:

If the temperature permits, air out your house to reduce smoke odor.
Change the air filter on your forced hot air furnace.
Avoid touching any damaged areas with your hands, as the oils from your skin can further permeate walls, woodwork, and upholstery, exacerbating the damage.
