They will notify the on-call personnel from the Fire Marshal's Office.

Now that the fire is out, what do I do?
We realize that the trauma of a fire is rapidly surpassed by the shock of realization that comes afterwards. Tasks such as clean up, repairs and replacement are questions you may have. The link below will provide answers to questions that may arise during your clean up.
