Nobody sits inside. The crew sets up protection and puts on gloves, eye protection and protective clothing.

Fluids are lifted from every surface they reached. Soaked items are removed and the remaining surfaces are sanitized.
The crew inspects each affected area, hauls away the waste and can provide notes for insurance claims.

Call 911 first if anyone is hurt. Keep people and pets away from the vehicle, do not drive it, and do not wipe or spray the fluids. Take photos for insurance and note what the contamination touched.
