We will check your smoke
detectors your fire alarms, and fire extinguishers. We will do a
walk through of the inside of your home, check the exits, kitchen of
the home where the family gathers. We will check to determine if you
and your family know how to get out of the house in the event of a
fire. We will help you develop an escape plan that will work for
your family. We will check the outside of your house to be sure that
the address is visible. During the inspection we can identify any
hazards, specific to your house, that might pose a problem to the
firefighters such as burglar bars. If you are interested in the Home
