During a visit to the Germantown Fire Department, the Helpful Home Inspector spoke with his uncle about some fire safety tips. What are the most common reasons for house fires? How can a homeowner minimize damage to a potential fire? Do you have a family fire safety plan? If not, we share tips on what to consider when setting up a family fire safety plan. Smoke detectors are the #1 warning system a home can have during a house fire. Take the time to check your smoke detectors which could save your life. Also we discuss security and sprinkler systems with rental and commercial properties. If there is a false alarm, the fire department will still come onsite to verify everything is okay with your home.
Special thanks to the Germantown Fire Department for allowing us to visit onsite and learn a little more first hand from our first responders. Make sure to support your local firefighters for what they do to help save lives!
