Rental property had a fire.

First off, yes everyone is ok.  One of the tenants does have some third degree burns but will be fine.  No other injuries so we are thankful for that.  That being said.

I recieved a call from my tenant Saturday morning informing me that the rental property has had a fire.  It was mostly contained to one bedroom but smoke damage is through out the house.  The property is now unihabitable and from what I can guess so far its going to be 6-8 weeks for the house to be restored and ready to rent again.

My question is what should I be prepared for that I haven't thought of.  I'm sure there is a landlord out there that has been through this and was hit by some suprise so any info that might sneak up on me would be great.

Thanks
