Fire Safety Tips for Vacation Homes in Lakewood?
6/14/2022 (Permalink)
Our Lakewood and Ken Caryl team wants everyone to have a safe, fire-damage-free vacation. Here are some tips on things you should ask about when renting a peer-to-peer or owner-type vacation unit from the National Fire Protection Association before you book:
- Working smoke alarms are in every sleeping room and outside every room
- Portable fire extinguishers are in the home and are easy to reach
- Working carbon monoxide alarms are outside each separate sleeping area
- The owner has posted a floor plan. It notes all escape routes and exits and provides emergency contact information.
- Everyone knows the address of the home
- Everyone staying in the home knows two ways out of every room and how to escape in an emergency
- All doors and windows that lead outside can be opened
- An outside meeting place has been chosen a safe distance away from the home
- Everyone knows how to call 9-1-1 or the local emergency number from a cell phone from outside
- All pathways are free and clear of tripping hazards
- Electrical outlets are free from multiple cords and adaptors
- The stovetop is clear. Anything that can catch fire is not near the stovetop, such as curtains and towels
