Structure on fire.

It is very important that you avoid reentering your home or business after a fire, as this can result in severe personal injury or further damage to the structure. Depending on the extent of the fire damage, it is likely that the fire has damaged your building structure, which means the boards are fragile and can easily break if you apply any pressure to them. In addition, if your structure  has sustained water damage, this can also weaken its structure and create the possibility for electrocution if electricity is exposed to the excess water. Regardless of the extent of the damage to your home or business, you should always have a professional inspect your home or business before you try to enter it after a fire.
