The firm who cleared our house of all it's contents took photos of everything that was in the house including individual items of clothing to a climate controlled storage facility. All the photographs plus the manual records were on their drop box site that we were given access to for our home whilst we dealt with our insurance claim.
I briefly had my own free drop box account to copy & store the photos until our claim was settled.
The firm (appointed by our independant loss assesors) mainly dealt with flood damaged property as well as serious house fire victims. They were a brilliant firm owned by a local businessman.
Should anyone here be unfortunate enough to have a serious house fire I would highly recommend you appoint an independent loss assessor (LA) they basically take away all the pain of dealing with a house insurance company for a large claim. (Ours was around £190k plus VAT for buiding & contents)
The Fire Service (FS) Incident Commander (who Wendy use to work with before he joined the FS) gave us advice about seeking our own LA . It was one of the best pieces of free advice I have ever been given. We were inundated with calls from a variety of firms to act as our LA. The Incident Commander gave us a business card for a Birmingham Based Charity who in turn pointed us in the right direction for appointing our own LA.
