Furnace caught fire...now what?

[John Lindemann]

One of my SFH renters called me this morning to let me know they had called the fire department because they noticed smoke coming from a vent. Turns out the furnace had caught fire...fortunately no fire damage outside of the furnace closet. Nobody got hurt and property damage appears to be minimal. So...I need a new furnace and some sheetrock work.

My question is how to handle the renters now.  Our weather is very mild right now but I assume it will take several days to get a new furnace installed (waiting to hear back from contractors now).  Do I need to put them in a hotel or get a portable a/c unit?  Highest temperature in the next 10 days is 85°.

Any advice appreciated!!
