A fire doesn’t just affect property - it affects people. After an incident it’s common to experience shock, confusion, anxiety and fear.
Speak to your GP about what support may be available to you. If you’re in crisis and struggling to keep yourself safe you can also contact NHS 111 or in an emergency visit A&E.
