International Fire Protection, in partnership with the National Fire Sprinkler Association (<\/span>NFSA<\/span><\/a>), the Fire Safety Research Institute (<\/span>FSRI<\/span><\/a>), and <\/span>Military Makeover<\/span><\/a>, donated their time and materials to install a fire safety system in a military hero\u2019s home. This included smoke alarms that meet the latest UL standards and a fire sprinkler system. <\/span>The <\/span>fire safety project<\/span><\/a> was part of Military Makeover\u2019s full-house remodel project in southern Florida. This episode aired on Lifetime TV on June 7, 2024, and again on June 13, 2024.<\/span><\/p>\n

Fire Safety in the Home<\/h4>\n

Steve Kerber, FSRI\u2019s Vice President and Executive Director, spoke with Military Makeover <\/span>co-host Art Edmonds to discuss fire safety precautions in the home. These precautions can prevent fires from happening or from spreading inside a house. Some of the tips he shared include:<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Make sure all smoke alarms are in working order.<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. Replace alarms every 10 years.<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. Install smoke detectors in every bedroom, outside of every sleeping area, and on every level of your home.<\/span><\/li>\n
  4. Ensure there are CO (carbon monoxide) alarms on every level of your home and in your garage to protect from this \u201csilent killer\u201d.<\/span><\/li>\n
  5. Install a fire suppression system in your home. Contrary to popular belief, only the fire sprinkler head closest to the fire will go off. One sprinkler head can contain a fire 90% of the time.<\/span><\/li>\n
  6. Have an escape plan. Note two routes out of every room. If you can\u2019t get out, get a closed door between you and the fire.<\/span><\/li>\n
  7. \u201cClose Before You Doze\u201d. Close your bedroom door before you go to sleep.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    International Fire Protection was honored to take part in providing peace of mind for this military veteran and his family, protecting their home from a fire disaster!<\/span><\/p>\n
