Fireproofing Your House in Whittier

Prevention is always better than cure and house fireproofing is the best prevention against fire for any homeowner. It’s more than terrifying going from having everything to having nothing in a flash of a moment and being left with nowhere to call a home. Even worse to lose a loved one. Well, that’s the nightmare that comes with any fire accident. Whittier like most cities has adopted the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA)code and standards for better and effective home fireproofing. The city provides Whittier fire protection services to homeowners as a way of minimizing fire accidents.

WAYS OF HOUSE FIREPROOFING.

Install fireproofing systems- this is always the first precaution to consider because the systems are one of the best ways to boost your home security in case of a fire incident. As per the NPFA codes, always have a state professional licensed company or technician install fire protection systems which include; Fire and smoke alarms for early fire detection and warnings. Additionally, Fire extinguishers should be installed in every room but mostly in the highly exposed areas like the kitchen and garage. Fire sprinklers and suppression systems could also serve the same purpose. Have the systems periodically inspected, maintained, and repaired by certified fire service companies or safety engineers.

USE NON-COMBUSTIBLE CONSTRUCTION AND

FURNISHING MATERIALS: Building materials are a great determinant. The house roofing should mainly be metal, tiles, or clay as they are less susceptible to fire. Gutters and roofs should also be regularly be cleaned to avoid an accumulation of debris and dry leaves. Use dual paned windows since they are more resistant to breakage by fire or even wind. Use less-flammable interior décor materials and fabrics.

TAKE HOME SAFETY MEASURES: A homeowner is the first fireproof of their house. Applying simple routine precautions helps a lot in fire prevention. Always turn off all the heat-producing and electrical appliances before leaving, when not in use or when retiring to bed. Keep anything that can burn fire away from the fire source. Always keep matches and lighters out of reach for children and

never leave them alone with burning objects. This and more should always be on the mind of any homeowner who does not want fire-based losses. Create a fire defensible area- this is an area that acts as a barrier between the house and the flammable area. It should be free from flammable materials. It is highly recommended that the area should be made of concrete or gravel landscaping. The vegetation and trees around that space should be fire-resistant, lavender and poplar could do. Also, make sure there is no dry vegetation and bush, always keep the area evergreen as lush green vegetation is less susceptible to fire. Defensible space helps slow down the spread of fire.

Fire incidents occur almost every day bringing loss of property leaving people homeless. It’s even more unfortunate when lives are lost and some are left to heal fire accidents injuries. Most of these fire accidents are inevitable if the right measures are taken. Your number one priority as a homeowner is to keep your family safe, that’s why fireproofing is one of the solutions to achieving that objective. What are the best ways to fireproof your home?
