Two quick tools for the highest-impact prevention conversations

Home safety visits work best when residents leave with a short, specific list of actions. These tools turn broad prevention guidance into a practical score: smoke and CO alarms, escape planning, heating/cooking risk, defensible space, access, and evacuation readiness.

Home fire safety score

Use during station open houses, school outreach, smoke alarm canvassing, or post-incident neighborhood education. The output gives residents a clear priority order instead of a generic checklist.

Wildfire risk assessment

Use for wildland-urban interface outreach and homeowner self-checks. The questions focus on defensible space, roof and gutter exposure, vents, access, address visibility, and evacuation planning.

FAQ

Both. Firefighters and public educators can use them during prevention outreach, and homeowners can use them independently to identify the most urgent safety gaps.

No. It is a public education and self-assessment tool. Local code requirements, rental inspections, and fire marshal determinations still depend on the authority having jurisdiction.

The fire safety score focuses on interior home fire prevention and escape readiness. The wildfire risk tool focuses on exterior property exposure, defensible space, structure hardening, access, and evacuation readiness.
