For many homeowners, “fire protection” means installing fire alarms in a few rooms and having a fire extinguisher in the garage.
What are the main things that homeowners should know about fire safety and when should they consider hiring a fire protection contractor?
The distance to a hydrant & local engine company house, should be considered by your contractor, is it Volunteer or full staffed unit thats available, distance to adjoining houses or hazardous material business nearby, then the evaluation of your families ability to react to a fire incident, egress exits or fire ladders, after that then the house itself can be considered on the best ways to protect your investment, smoke detectors are inexpensive so one on each level and every bedroom is standard, but don’t forget the attic and basement, even the laundry room isn’t a far stretch… there is a heat source (dryer) in this room and a fire could start with relative ease. There is no way you can put a cost on the safety of your loved ones, but the most important free thing you can do is establish a fire safety evacuation plan and practice it often.
