One of the most valuable services that local fire departments offer Macon residents is the fire safety inspection. Fire safety inspections should be done in both homes and commercial buildings at least once each year. If you want, you can do it more often. This type of inspection can be especially useful for people who are rebuilding after a disaster like a fire or a flood. After the Macon disaster repair services have brought the home back to life, a fire safety inspection can be a good way to prevent future disasters.
Smoke Alarms
Smoke alarms can be an invaluable tool in fire safety. Smoke alarms are inexpensive and easy to maintain. A photoelectric smoke alarm is triggered by pulsing light sources while an ionization alarm is triggered by the air molecules that adhere to smoke particles. Both can be an effective fire warning system, so talk to your disaster repair contractor about which is better suited for your home. Be sure that you have a minimum of one smoke alarm for each floor of the home.
Fireproofing the Important Things
It is important to realize that things can be replaced, but human lives cannot. However, that realization does not change the fact that some things are especially important and may need extra fire protection. For example, your birth certificate, passport or other documentation that would be difficult to replace immediately should be placed in a fireproof safe if possible. Some people also place very valuable jewelry, paper money or other high value items within a fireproof safe for extra protection.
