Emergency Dispatch Guidance for Fire, Water, and Storm Damage Calls

Before calling or sending a non-sensitive request, gather the basic facts that help route active fire, water, storm, roof, board-up, mold, and insurance coordination needs.

Business hours: 10 AM–6 PM dailyCall first for active damageNo public file uploads

What to do right now

Protect people, then protect the property.

  • Call during posted business hours for active damage when property stabilization, documentation, or service routing is needed.
  • Prioritize life safety and call emergency services for fire, medical, gas, electrical, or structural danger.
  • Gather basic location, damage type, active exposure, safety concerns, claim status, and access information.

What not to do

Avoid actions that increase risk or erase evidence.

  • Do not enter unsafe fire, flood, storm-opened, or structurally questionable spaces to take photos.
  • Do not paste claim numbers, policy numbers, private documents, financial details, or medical information into public forms.
  • Do not assume insurance coverage or claim approval; carrier review and policy terms control coverage decisions.

Posted business hours and emergency call path

Fire and Storm Restoration business hours are 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM, seven days a week. For active property damage during posted hours, call 1(464) 274-1476 so the immediate damage type, safety concerns, property location, and next steps can be triaged. This site does not claim round-the-clock dispatch.

  • Phone: 1(464) 274-1476
  • Address: 1331 S 51st Ave, Suite 1, Cicero, IL 60804
  • Call before visiting or sending sensitive claim information.

What to have ready before you call

A short, factual call helps route the request faster and gives the operator enough context to separate active damage from planning or documentation questions.

  • Affected property address or general location.
  • Damage type: fire, smoke, water, storm, roof opening, broken opening, mold concern, or rebuild question.
  • Whether water, smoke, weather, roof exposure, or unsafe access is still active.
  • Visible safety hazards such as standing water near electricity, unstable ceilings, broken glass, smoke residue, or structural concerns.
  • Insurance claim status: not started, carrier notified, claim opened, adjuster assigned, or scope review in progress.
  • Whether photos exist for later secure transfer after instructions are provided.

What not to send through public forms

The public contact form is for routing only. It does not include file uploads and should not be used for private claim material or sensitive personal information.

  • Do not paste policy numbers or claim numbers.
  • Do not submit private claim documents or carrier letters.
  • Do not submit financial details, payment information, or medical details.
  • Do not upload photos or documents through this site; call for secure transfer instructions if files are needed.
  • Do not enter unsafe areas just to gather photos.

How lead triage is organized

The site separates active emergencies, insurance claim help, adjuster or property manager coordination, review/photo questions, and general service requests. No data is routed to external analytics, maps, pixels, or third-party CRM scripts.

  • Active emergency: call-first path for current property exposure.
  • Insurance claim help: documentation, scope, mitigation, and rebuild coordination questions.
  • Adjuster/property manager coordination: public-safe request path before secure file transfer.
  • Project photo/review question: approved-photo and verified-review readiness only.
  • General service request: non-sensitive scheduling or information questions.

Timeline

Emergency timeline

01

Call routing: identify damage type, property location, urgency, and safety concerns.

02

Stabilization discussion: decide whether tarping, board-up, extraction, drying, containment, or documentation support is needed.

03

Documentation planning: confirm what can be shared later through a secure channel if files are required.

04

Follow-up path: route to emergency services, insurance help, adjuster coordination, or general service request.

Insurance coverage note

Coverage depends on the policy, cause of loss, exclusions, deductibles, carrier review, and adjuster approval. Fire and Storm Restoration can help document damage and coordinate restoration scope, but cannot guarantee insurance coverage or claim approval.
