Check out the fire safety tips provided below to pass on to your residents or talk with us about ensuring your building and the safety equipment therein.

Fire Safe Box

One thing to encourage your tenants to do is utilize a fire safety box. This is where they can safely store important documents, jewelry, etc. to protect it in case of a fire. These are relatively inexpensive items that can mean a huge difference if a fire breaks out in the building.

Fire Safety Routes

Make sure tenants know the routes out of their building safely. Encourage them to practice their escape plan and know where all the exits are should a fire break out. This can mean the difference in valuable seconds lost in the event of a tragedy.

Encourage Knowing Neighbors

When residents know each other, they can help keep an eye out for each other at the same time. This allows them to recognize if someone is at home or should be in the event of a fire. Keeping an eye out for each other can mean the difference in living or a sad tragedy.

Test Fire Extinguishers

Make sure that tenants have fire extinguishers in the apartment and remind them to test them out. This helps to prevent a problem in case the item is ever needed.

Smoke Detectors & CO Detectors

These small pieces of equipment save lives. It’s important that batteries are tested once a month to ensure they work as they should. If not, it could end in a tragic story. Be sure you have someone remind tenants monthly or it can be part of maintenance services as well.
