Score a fire safety home run – do a home fire safety inspection!

Striking out fire in your home requires a little homework. Take about 20 minutes to inspect your home. As you go from room to room, answer the questions on the checklist you can download from the right of this page. For each question you answer “yes” to, give yourself a point. When you’re finished, add up the points to find out your score.

Kids, ask a grown-up to help you complete this checklist!

What was your fire safety batting average?

If you answered “yes” to all of the checklist questions congratulations! You score a fire safety home run!

If you answered “yes” to 15 to 20 questions, you’ve made it to third base. Just make a few adjustments, and you’ll easily hit a fire safety home run.

If you answered “yes” to 10 to 14 questions, you’ve hit a double. You’re going in the right direction, but you’ve got some work to do before you get to home plate.

If you answered “yes” to fewer than 10 questions, you’ve reached first base, but you need to make many changes around your home in order to reach home plate.

For all questions to which you answered “no” make sure your family takes the steps needed to make them a “yes” so you can all score a fire safety home run!
