Fire Safety

Ensure smoke detectors are installed in key locations (e.g., bedrooms, hallways, kitchens). - Test functionality and battery life of all smoke detectors and fire alarms.

​Fire Extinguishers: - Check the presence of fire extinguishers in accessible and appropriate areas, such as the kitchen or garage. - Inspect expiration dates and overall condition of fire extinguishers.

Assess the accessibility and clarity of emergency exit routes. - Ensure windows and doors designated as exits are functional and free from obstruction.

Inspect wiring, outlets, and circuit breakers for signs of overload or damage. - Ensure the presence of GFCI outlets in areas prone to moisture (e.g., bathrooms, kitchens).

Check for proper maintenance of heating systems, fireplaces, and space heaters. - Inspect chimneys and flues for blockages or excessive soot buildup.

Evaluate the use of fire-resistant materials in key areas, such as roofing, insulation, and walls. - Check for adequate fireproofing around stoves, ovens, and heating appliances.

Test the functionality of carbon monoxide detectors and ensure they are installed in appropriate locations.

Inspect the condition and functionality of fire sprinkler systems, ensuring proper water flow and coverage.

Check for clear and visible fire escape plans or emergency instructions. - Ensure proper labelling of fire safety equipment, such as extinguishers and alarms.

Identify any items that may pose a fire hazard, such as clutter near heat sources or overloaded power outlets. - Educate homeowners about best practices for fire prevention and safety.
