Fire safety refers to the precautions and practices designed to reduce the risk of fire and protect lives and property from fire-related hazards. This includes prevention, detection, and response strategies.

Routine fire protection inspections are essential for ensuring that your fire safety systems operate effectively, significantly reducing the risk of fire-related injuries or fatalities. These inspections also help maintain code compliance and meet insurance requirements.

Fire alarm systems in Texas require a comprehensive inspection and functional test annually. 

If a fire occurs, remember to:

• Stay calm and alert others.

• Evacuate using your planned escape route.

• Call emergency services once you are safe.

• Do not re-enter the building until it is declared safe by authorities.

You should have different types of fire extinguishers based on the potential fire hazards in your environment:

• Class A: For ordinary combustibles (wood, paper).

• Class B: For flammable liquids (gasoline, oil).

• Class C: For electrical fires.

• Class K: For cooking oils and fats.

Common signs include:

• Overloaded electrical outlets.

• Flickering lights or blown fuses.

• A buildup of lint in dryers or vents.

• The smell of smoke or burnt materials.
